PHOTO ESSAY: Christmas vacation … in Vienna

Charleston resident Cynthia Bledsoe sent along these great photos after jetting recently to Vienna to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of the holiday season.

“Vienna at Christmas time is magical,” Bledsoe told us.  “The Old City and shipping streets are decorated with festive lights and the squares are transformed into Christmas markets, a tradition dating back to 1298.
“Roasted chestnuts, mugs of hot punch, handmade toys and crafts —  the old city has over 10 markets, each with a different feel. An old, imperial city, visiting feels during this seasons feels  like walking through a fairy tale. “

Thanks, Cynthia.  We hope our readers enjoy these pictures as much as we did  – and we hope everyone has a happy yuletide.
