The California Christmas mood for sure has got it's own style. But, to be honest Christmas Slovak style still has my heart. It's simply fun, 'real', tasty, and somehow still authentic despite pressures to be commercial. There is still a sense of wintry magic in the air not snuffed out by political correctness, marketing thugs, or hyper-me.me.me. Now mind you it's not perfect, but it's a step in a more 'silent night-esque' direction to the whole Christmas experience. One of the best features of Christmas in the city is the Christmas Market. The sights, smells, tastes, and vibe is great. It's pretty cool to have what feels like 1/2 of the city packed into the Old Town to celebrate. You run into everyone... one year we even bumped into President Gasporovich(!) Anyway, if you have never experienced the Bratislava Christmas market you got to get down there....
