Trapp
From
the
cover:
"In
Austria,
celebration
begins
in
earnest
on
Christmas
Eve
with
the
blessing
of
the
family
home.
Following
this
tradition,
we’d
gather
in
our
Vermont
kitchen
at
dusk
to
light
candles
and
incense,
and
proceed
door-to-door
throughout
the
house,
As
we
sang
and
prayed
in
each
room,
a
feeling
of
peace
and
harmony
enveloped
us
all.
Although
music
has
permeated
all
aspects
of
my
growing
up,
my
fondest
memories
are
of
those
wonderful
times
when
our
farmhouse
was
filled
with
friends
and
family
and
the
walls
resounded
with
Christmas
Song."

Saint Nicholas |
|
On December 6th,
Saint Nicholas would appear in full
regalia. staff and the book of
“knowledge” in hand. He had come to
review with each of us our past year’s
deeds. To remind us of any “bad” deeds,
he was accompanied by a bad-tempered,
black-clad devil, complete with long
tail—a menacing apparition we only dared
peek at! Before the incongruous twosome
departed, though, we’d join to sing “Las
uns froh und munter sein” an Austrian
carol (“Let us be joyful and full of
mirth.”) |
