Christmas Traditions in Europe

Rick Steves is our all time favorite travel guru and so of course I listen to his radio show (via podcasts).  Here is a great episode on Christmas traditions in Europe: http://www.ricksteves.com/radio/archive.htm#34b

Rick takes listener calls about travel during the holidays, and phones a few of his friends in Europe to find out how they're celebrating Christmas. We'll also hear about guarding traditions in Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Ireland and Portugal, and how some traditions are changing with modern times. And we'll even find out about some of Santa Claus's relatives, back in the "old country."

Enjoy and have a very Merry Christmas!
