When Evening falls
Christmastime in Vienna


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

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
