Joy to the World!
Christmastime in Vienna


The greatest pleasure
lies in the anticipation!

Come over here,
here are the best trees,
shouted the little girl

I encountered this gaggle of girls
brimming with joy on Sunday afternoon
at the Christmas tree lot in front of
Serviten Church
Servitengasse
9th District
Alsergrund

  2. I think that's true about anticipation, and what a way biology has designed us for that.

  3. I miss so much the choosing of the tree with the children, maybe next year, I shall do it just one more time, for the "fake" one does get well...fake:(
