(Sung to the tune of…well, duh…)
Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree,
How will I take you home with me?
Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree,
I haven’t got a car you see.
With boughs wrapped up in plastic net
I’ll get you home in one piece yet
Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree,
How will I take you home with me?
If you’re not big, I’ll carry you
It really won’t be hard to do.
Or on my bike’s another way
That I can get you home today.
If on a bus, my fare is paid*
By wooden cart that I hand made
I’ve got the will, I’ve got the way
Oh, Christmas tree you’re mine today.
*Yes, you read that right. Anyone transporting a Christmas tree on a Salzburg bus rides for free.
I just watched a Rick Steeves European Christmas episode which included Salzburg. Unfortunately, an armchair travel experience for me. It seems like you are having an incredible trip. I look forward to hearing all about it. Merry Christmas to you and Lorne.

Thanks, Judy. The trip has been like being in a gigantic Christmas card, quite literally with all of my favorite things! Merry Christmas to you, Fred Kalsey and Kale.
