New Jersey Transit

So we got a taxi from LaGuardia Airport to Penn Station with amazingly little traffic, then got a train to the town in New Jersey where my sister and her family live. Easy. The New Jersey Transit trains we took had a rather nagging nanny state tone. Do people actually clip their nails on the commuter trains? Do people need to be told not to jump off moving trains, particularly when the door is closed?               

La place Hoche parée pour les fêtes

Christmas lights place Hoche looking towards Notre-Dame church! VDP prefers the snowy 2010 view though! It was here!

Vous souvenez-vous des illuminations de Noël ici-même en 2010 sous la neige ? Pour vous rafraîchir la mémoire, c'est ici qu'il faut cliquer !

A Viennese gingerbread house

.

More goodies from Vienna's Christkindl Christmas market -- a gingerbread house!
And if that is not beautiful enough for you, look at the lovely face of the young lady.

Even the sign is special.

A Pirker gingerbread house made from genuine Mariazeller gingerbread
with 50% bee honey in the gingerbread dough
handmade in more than 20 hours of work
Long-lasting and sweet as honey
Please don't nibble.

Happy holiday time to you!

Cammisha

Cammisha is a beautiful young lady working at TooJay's Deli in Lake Sumter Landing in The Villages. We met her on Christmas Day when we stopped in for a bite to eat. She made our dining experience a real pleasure. Thanks, Cammisha! And Merry Christmas!
