Das Ist Gemütlichkeit

It's that time of year - time to celebrate warm weather, friends and good cheer.

Luckily, there's one German word to describe the multitude of things that mean togetherness and warmth and friendships and happy spring days and people we love spending time with and so on and so on and so on.

Das ist Gemütlichkeit.

And as it happens, member George Seidel, a singer in the Maennerchor, has a poem to help many of us understand exactly what Gemütlichkeit means. His mother, Dolly Seidel, wrote it.

George was gracious enough to recite it.
