I like that. Boldog Karacsonyt

I had a dear friend who was born in Budapest, Hungary and came over here at age 19 with her mom and grandmother to live in West Liberty Ohio, sponsored by the Mennonite families. She later married a fellow from India and they became our dear neighbors and close friends, in Vermont........when they'd go back to visit in Budapest Hungary and Austria.........she'd bring us back wonderful foods and gifts.........I miss her; she died way too young.
