The big Christmas tree in the village is looking particularly festive this year, what with all the snow decorating it from the big storm. I see a lot of families taking photos here, but when I snapped these shots, it was late at night—well, late by tiny mountain village standards, so a touch after 10 p.m.—and not many creatures were stirring.
