Burning the Bonhomme d'Hiver
We said goodbye to winter by burning the Bonhomme d'Hiver (Winter man). Apparently its part of Carneval festivities, but since Switzerland is a Prodestant country, not Catholic, we don't really mention Carneval. Anyway its fun for the kids to paint their faces and watch a bonfire !
Decorating the "Winter Man"
We spent an afternoon decorating the Winter Man, which we will burn to the ground next week !
