back during my prague days, we took a little road trip over thanksgiving break. now, of course they don't celebrate thanksgiving in the czech republic, but american students still do. so basically we skipped class on thursday and friday. we rented a little car and left prague on thursday afternoon, and then drove to vienna. it was awesome for so many different reasons - one of which was road trips are just a little more interesting when you are trying to drive your way around europe. also, PI and i were just becoming an item at this time, so it was a special time for us.
but best of all, it was christmastime. and christmas time in vienna is something very special. we were all on a very tight budget, so we found a nice hotel and shared a room with two twin beds between five of us. but during the day we would wander around the city and spend time in the amazing christmas village in the city square. now i am really huge into christmas carols during the holiday season, and one day while we were walking around the christmas village, i found this old frank sinatra christmas album and just had to buy it for our car trip.
well, that night we were all going to bed in our cramped little hotel room and we decided to put on some christmas carols as we went to bed (yes, we were kind of strange college students i guess). the first some on the album is this one below - which just happens to be my favorite christmas carol of all time. no joke.
at the end of the song frank says 'merry christmas.' and as we all laid in the dark, PI and i cuddled in a twin bed together with some of our best friends, we all at the same time said 'merry christmas frank.' it was such a weird thing, as soon as we all said it we all just busted out laughing.
it is such a random memory but one of my favorite holiday memories. just wanted to share that :)
