Weihnachten in Neu Gerolding + Christmas in Graz

Spending Christmas in Austria means celebrating on the evening of the 24th. Spending Christmas with an American means celebrating on the morning of the 25th, too.

So, we took the train to Vienna to Tom's Mom's place, where we were picked up by Richi. In a small 2-door Peugeot we crammed in 4 adults, one kid's car seat, our luggage and presents, Mutti's luggage and presents and somehow made it to Neu Gerolding in one piece.

We enjoyed singing Christmas songs with everyone - Sabine and Moritz especially enthusiastically joined in.

The 24th will bring a big lunch, a Christmas service, decorating a tree and opening presents.

Here are some pics to help you visualize it all!

Date night in the city

Yesterday evening Thomas and I had a great date night. Before the week got too busy and full, we decided to have a nice, relaxing time looking at the Christmas markets, eating dinner than watching a movie! Very simple but also quite enjoyable.

I love my husband so much and am so grateful to get to spend such a fun evening with him!
