On Christmas Eve, Uncle Werner plants himself on the ol' pickle barrel and plays the accordion. Everybody sings, dances the traditional steps and indulge in plenty of homemade beer and schnapps. We then have a large feast of schnitzel, bratwurst and pickled herring. Then more beer and schnapps. Grandpapa (he is 101) will tell stories of the old country, recall Holidays past and remind us of how blessed we all are. All the aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grand kids and spouses sleep over, huddled in beds or on the floor in sleeping bags......then we start over in the morning!
