Getting Ready for our first White Christmas

---

I can't believe there's only 5 weeks to go before we leave for our first White Christmas. Where does the time go.

Most of our accommodation has been booked, the budget has been exceeded (as normal), and I have pinterested "clothes for travel in winter" to death.

Points of interested not to miss have been logged, hire car booked, and the best German Christmas markets have been highlighted on my map.

Anything I've forgotten??

Next couple of weeks will be making sure we have appropriate clothes and footwear and starting to pack. Seems silly to be packing for an extreme European Winter holiday,

when it is 38 degrees Celsius here at home in Melbourne, Australia.

Starting to wonder about missing our hot Christmas at home. What were we thinking leaving the family and Grandchildren for a solitary and very cold White Christmas?

What were we thinking??? Romantic evenings, Walking in the snow, Warm mugs of mulled wine while browsing the Christmas Markets in Rothenberg, beautiful old buildings covered in snow and ice, staying in an 11th century Abbey in Perugia, mist over Tuscany!, Christmas day in Salzburg, New Years Eve in Venice, staying in the beautiful caves of Matera in Italy.......

The kids will survive one Christmas without us !!!
