We feel grateful for loving each and every member in our family. And Christmas eve is the moment where we express and share the love. We ate cold (antipasti) and warm (turkey), drank cold (champagne) and hot (tea) drinks, sang Austrian (Stille Nacht) and American traditionals. What else can you wish for! Have a joyful Christmas!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842556959891396007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-30167685324211696862010-12-24T16:52:42.298-05:002010-12-24T16:52:42.298-05:00Jeanne, sitting at home by the fire with a glass o...Jeanne, sitting at home by the fire with a glass of fizz with husband!
