Snuggled between the majestic Austrian Alps lie villages isolated from the rest of the country by the winter snow. Here, the German Village Traveler treks through mile high drifts to bring Christmas treats to eagerly waiting children. There's nothing that the boys and girls love better than the large cookies Father Christmas leaves, gingerbread decorated with sugar frosting, almonds and raisins. Some of these cookies, used as tree ornaments, are hung from bright red ribbons, their spicy aroma mingling with the fresh scent of pine. Of course, Father Christmas also brings dolls, horns and many other toys to put under the candlelit tree. While it is cold and chilly outside, inside Father Christmas has brought a warm and glowing spirit to the holiday festivities.
