We have little mugs and cups that we use that held the gluwein fron different Christmas markets.<br /><br />We have enjoyed the Chriskindle markets in Nuremburg, Salszburg, Vienna, Budapest, Munich, Rothenburg, and Strasburg. We plan to do Christmas in Berlin and Prague one year.<br /><br />Tonight some friends are coming over for dinner. Several years ago we were supposed to go the luminarias with them at the Desert Botanical Garden but it rained, so we went to their house for dinner instead. We had just booked a trip to Vienna for Christmas about a week beforehand. They mentioned at dinner "Guess where we are going for Christmas?" The answer was Vienna. We said "We are too!" We had Christmas with them in Vienna.<br /><br />The sad memory associated with trips to Europe for the holidays is that my father passed away while we were in the air over the Atlantic on our way to Christmas in Salzburg with Julie and my son. It presented such conflicts regarding what to do, etc. Sorry to share that situation. Thanks for the therapy.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-20794278218430168832011-12-17T06:34:22.858-05:002011-12-17T06:34:22.858-05:00What delightful scenes!

With an exception: here, in Monaco, we have a WONDERFUL xmas market! Every year , there 's a new idea of decoration.
