We celebrated Christmas in Garmisch Germany in a nice hotel. We didn’t have room to pack our Christmas tree in the car, although we were tempted… Instead we spread the presents around the hotel ficus tree. When Elora...

We drove up to Munich just before Christmas and went to the Christmas Market there. It was much bigger than anything in Vienna, although that makes sense because Vienna has dozens of markets, and Munich had this one sprawling...
