twas the night before christmas

its the 24th of december everyone! i hope all you people out there who celebrate today are enjoying the festivities.
my mum and brother craig made it here. YAY! we've been out to the christmas market this afternoon and drunk a few glühwein (we went to the one at rathausplatz even though i vowed never again! but it was a lot quieter) and then we wandered down graben to see the lights and ended up quickly going inside stephansdom. all the bells were ringing as a service was just starting. it sounded amazing (even for a not so religious person like me!). now we are preparing our turkey for the oven. its quite a beast!
merry christmas everyone!
