I think “the grass is always greener” sums it all up, Anne!

Mimsy, I can’t wait to see the Christmas markets. I just want to walk around in the cold, glühwein in one hand, camera in the other :-)

well done, Miss Roxi! We all are SO FREAKING EXCITED! Can’t wait to hear the whole story! And how wonderful to visit Germany in the Christmas season… O Tannebaum and Stille Nacht…xox

A trip to a Weihnachtsmarkt sounds so lovely! I remember reading a feature on the Vienna Weihnachtsmarkt in Saveur a few years ago and being enchanted by the pictures.

Isn’t it funny how we complain away about things in one climate, and then pine for them when we move on to another one! I spent most of my undergrad years moaning about Chicago winters. Now that I’m gone, I miss them. The grass is always greener, etc., I suppose.

Congratulations to Roxi on her acceptance to the choir event!

Oh I can’t wait to see the photos of the Christmas market! My younger sister lived in Germany for 6 months while she was finishing her Master’s degree and one of her favorite parts was visiting those markets!

Also – YAY! for Roxi!!

John, I just realized that even if someone GAVE me a 20 pound turkey, I wouldn’t be able to store the darn thing in my fridge or freezer. And let’s just say I figured out how to shove the turkey in my tiny fridge by taking out three shelves… would it even fit in my oven?

I just got back from Kroger where I got a 19 pound turkey for $5.14 ($0.27 a pound with $20 additional purchase). They’re practically giving them away.

Christine, I know we’re so lucky! But I was wondering, are Christmas markets popular in Canada? I would think in Quebec City or Montreal there would be something…

Kathy, I can’t wait to drink the gluhwein and wander the stalls. I hope I have enough arms to shop and take pics!
