Christmas for us this year was a quiet little event.
We hadn't planned anything in particular and knew most places would be shut. The weather outside looked okay so we went for a walk to the neighbouring district of Prenzlauer Berg.
Prenzlauer Berg, in the former East, was know for its artsy inhabitants, but this is / has changed and is now a mostly gentrified area. A most sought after place to live and now with rents and property prices to match which forces the artsy folk out.
Not expecting much from a Christmas day where everything would be shut we just went for a walk. There was hardly anything going on and very few shops open (only some small convenience stores and kebab type shops).
The walk wasn't that interesting and before we could get into the heart of Prenzlauer Berg the weather was turning a bit inhospitable. Barney had got himself very dirty and Nordine had enough of walking. We still had some leftover pre-bought public transport tickets, so we hopped on the tram which runs down the street we'd just been walking. The ride back was super easy and the tram drops us off very near our apartment.
In the evening Nordine whipped up a nice Christmas meal of beef rouladen, red cabbage, roast potatoes and brussel sprouts.
We topped this off with some Christmas stollen :)
A nice quite Christmas day for three.
