When Evening falls
Christmastime in Vienna


Santa May Live
on the North Pole,
but that does not keep penguins
from celebrating Christmas

Christmas Lights

Michaelerplatz and Kohlmarkt
Joseph Haydn lived
here as a young man
Michaelerhaus

The Meinl Moor
at the corner of
Graben and Kohlmarkt

    There's just nothing like Europe at Christmas time. Everything seems more special there during the holidays.

    Merisi, I wish you a very merry Christmas filled with wonderful food, family and friends. Happy holidays to you and your family.

    Merisi, you have brought us so many beautiful gifts in each of your posts this year! Many thanks to you.

    This Christmas Eve's pictures are so charming. I do particularly love the curtain of lights behind the Meinl Moor.

    Merry Christmas, Merisi!

    These beauties just concentrated my attention on the fact that it is nearly midnight in Vienna...& I have many things to do yet today. So over & out. Have a happy holiday.

    I really hope that Karl stuffs himself this Chrismas season. I don't approve of dietary austerity in December!

    Sending you a virtual fruitcake . . . or would you rather have a mince pie?

    Happiest holiday wishes, dear Meri.
