Traditions dating back hundreds of years come into play at the charming and twinkling Christmas markets throughout Europe. Anyone for gluhwein? SUE WALLACE 4 MY DISCOVERIES | www.mydiscoveries.com.au There’s no better way to discover the charm of Europe’s many wonderful Christmas markets than with a mug of steaming gluhwein laced with cinnamon and cloves, in hand. The delicious aroma of roasting chestnuts is often in the air as you wander by wooden chalets decked with twinkling fairy lights, bright baubles and fresh holly and pine tree branches. Intricate beaded Christmas decorations, timber toys, handmade soap, felt slippers and treats that are almost too pretty to eat top the list of must-haves as Yuletide fever sets in. Christmas markets start from mid-November and by early December are in full swing across Europe as crowds flock to buy gifts for family and friends and stock up on goodies for Christmas stockings. There’s keen competition among European cities when it comes to the best Christmas market accolade but each one has something special to offer. The market circuit has become a huge tourist attraction for Christmas revellers who wander along cobbled stone streets to pretty squares where markets have been held for centuries. Here are some of the best: AUSTRIA Austria stages some of the oldest and prettiest Christmas markets with many dating back to the Middle Ages.

  • How Nutritious Is Your Christmas?
    How Nutritious Is Your Christmas? Christmas is just around the corner, nudging us ever nearer to the time-honoured tradition of the Christmas Dinner, celebrated by families all around the world. However what makes up a yuletide feast changes significantly from country to country depending on the availability of fresh produce and age-old traditions: Christmas in the UK is based around turkey and all the trimmings, while Christmas in Indonesia is celebrated with sticky, sweet rice cakes. Here are how six different countries celebrate the festive season through food. posted on Dec. 16, 2014, at 6:14 p.m. This post was created by a user and has not been vetted or endorsed by BuzzFeed's editorial staff. It is also not paid advertising. BuzzFeed Community is a place where anyone can post awesome lists and creations. GAINalliance Community Brand Publisher 1. United Kingdom The traditional UK Christmas dinner is the centrepiece of festivities; roast turkey or goose with roast potatoes, and all the trimmings of stuffing, sprouts and cranberry sauce. However the evolution of eating turkey is relatively recent in English history, as the famous festive fowl didn’t arrive in the UK until the 1700s. In Medieval England the main course was either peacock or boar. The beloved mince pie was a recipe brought back from the Middle East by Crusaders, originally made with meat instead of the lovely fruits and spices we know today. However in the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell decided that this Christmas dish was too decadent, and banned eating it on Christmas Day – a law that has yet to be abolished! Did you know? Brussel sprouts are one of the healthiest veggies around, and a fantastic source for your key vitamins.

  • Holiday Greetings - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday Greetings from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Holiday greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday greetings From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Holiday greetings are a selection of greetings that are often spoken with good intentions to strangers, family, or friends, in nations around the world, during the months of December and January. Holidays with greetings include Christmas, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving (United States), and Hanukkah. Some greetings are more prevalent than others, depending on the cultural and religious status of any given area. Typically, a greeting consists of the word "Happy" followed by the holiday, such as "Happy Eid", "Happy Hanukkah", or "Happy New Year", although the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a notable exception. In the United States, the collective phrase "Happy Holidays" is often used as a generic cover-all greeting for all of the Winter holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Controversy has arisen in the U.S regarding its usage of the phrase "Happy Holidays", as an alleged attempt to diminish the Christian elements of Christmas, although its use promotes other holidays commonly celebrated there. Contents 1 Merry/Happy Christmas 1.1 History of the phrase 2 Happy Holidays 3 Season's Greetings 4 Christmas and Holiday Greetings 4.1 Christmas Wishes (Non-English) 4.2 Non-English, Non-Christmas 4.3 English 4.4 Other 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Merry/Happy Christmas The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, commencing a few weeks prior to Christmas (December 25) of every year.

  • The Story of a Community
    LIVINGSTON The Story of a Community ! Written by Workers of the WPA Writers' Program of the Works Projects Administration in the State of New Jersey ! Revised by the Livingston Bicentennial Historical Committee " American Guide Series ! Sponsored by the Township of Livingston 1939 & 2013 4th Revised Edition ! Acknowledgements ! This book is essentially a cooperative product of the people of Livingston Township, the former 1939 New Jersey Writers' Project and the Livingston Bicentennial Historical Committee in 2013. Every person approached by staff and committee members was glad to relate what he/she remembered, to show the documents and mementoes he/she owned, to suggest others who might supply information. It is obviously impossible to list all those who assisted in producing this book. The first edition was completed with the help of the members of the 125th Anniversary Committee: Freeman Harrison, chairman, who was unfailingly generous with his time and advice during the course of the work; Mrs. Lillias Cook; Miss Martha E. Devey, then township librarian; Leon O. Fisher, then superintendent of schools; Edward Gaulkin, then township recorder; the Reverend N. Lester Lawrence, then pastor, Livingston Baptist Church; and George B. Schulte. The first edition of the book was written by Richard A. Shafter from research material gathered by Miss Gertrude Tubby, Mrs. Katherine D. Hill and Fred Holden of the Essex County Unit of the Writers' Project. The first edition manuscript was edited for publication by Benjamin Goldenberg, supervising editor. The photographs were taken by Nathaniel Rubel, and the first edition was designed by Samuel Epstein, then Assistant State Supervisor.
