glad tidings

A tradition on Christmas eve here in Tirol is for the local community band to go around playing carols in exchange for a donotation. The neighbors all come out to listen and visit during the performance. Often someone will bring something out to serve --usually it is homemade "Schnapps" and cookies.
Unfortunately, you can't see the picture clearly. It shows 5 musicians in front of our house with the snow-capped mountains in the background on a moonlit night. I decided to post the picture cause I figured it captures well what happens to our memories with time --and a little Schnapps!
