Less than 50 days to go

Ah! Christmas! It's just around the corner. I was in the city center today and noticed that the Christmas decorations are already up. And with less than 50 days until the big day, why not!

Here are some things I hope to do between now and Christmas:
  • Make as many Christmas gifts as possible. I don't think all of the gifts will be handmade this year, but I hope that most of them will include something handmade.
  • Bake Vanillekipferl (traditional Viennese Christmas cookies). Our neighbors gave us some last year and I decided then and there that I would make them this year.
  • Visit a couple of Christmas markets. I might even buy something other than food and drinks this year.

I'm so jealous that you get to be in Vienna at Christmas time! I loved the Christmas markets so much...especially the one at the Rathhaus and the one at Schonnbrun. (I'm pretty sure I biffed that spelling, but it's been 13 years since I needed to know how to spell it.) If I won the lottery next week, the first trip I would make would be to Vienna for Christmas. Lots of pictures, please!

I'm in complete denial! My goodness there so much to do to get ready.

I wanted to give you a heads up that TipJunkie.com is doing their 12 Days of Junkie again. I hope you'll head on over and participate like you did last year.

Hope to see you there!!
