Christmas brings with it traditions from years past coupled with new possibilities. This year we have decided to spend the holidays in Europe with my sister, brother-in-law, brother-in-law's brother, my two sons (Derek & Blake), and Derek's fiance, Lesley. Tomorrow, we leave for the first leg of the trip in Venice. After a six night stay(and wading through the flood waters), we fly on to Vienna.
Vienna is filled with Christmas markets, gingerbread, hot mulled wine, and Mozart concerts in many of the churches as well as concert halls. We have declared that no one can bring recipes or gifts from the US. We are going to create an Austrian Christmas complete with a decorated tree and Christmas dinner. The eight of us will work together to determine what menu is typical, then shop and cook to create a fine meal. The adventure and romance of this Xmas will create a lasting memory in years to come.
On December 29th, we travel on to Prague for New Years. The Czech Republic promises to have a great New Year's celebration. Sharing this trip with loved ones makes it even more special. Hope that your holidays are filled with loving family, fun traditions, and new adventures. Wishing you peace and good health in 2009!
