Starting off again from the oft used carpark of the train station in Mödling, S. Energy and I set the last of a long series of Vindobonian Christmas runs (starting from various places in Baden, Guntramsdorf, Mödling, Hinterbrühl..), lasting for, well, many years. Next year there will be new locations, new Hares and perhaps different Christmas Markets. We had the pleasure of meeting Sir Jasper, son of Sno-Balls and Grandson of Lord Glo-Balls, OVH.
Hash Window of Opportunity in 2020
Talking of which, we started off by seeing parts of Mödling that we haven't used for runs in previous years, the dedicated runners cruised to the designated Drink- and Songstop on the local Main Christmas Market in 30 minutes, where everyone enjoyed their Glühwines and we successfully chased away some bystanders with a jolly rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas (Hash Version).
Merry Christmas!
Another 25 minutes later we arrived back at the carpark for the long circle with lots of songs and Christmas Sparklers. On After at a wonderful and nearby Gasthaus.
This is my personal wish for you all to have a wonderful Christmas, a Happy New Year with many Hash runs, copious amounts of cold beer, lots of fun, compassion and, overall, lots of love. You know that love is the message and the message is L. O. V. E.
OnOn!

And here are some more seasonal pics:
Is this funny or what?
He's the happiest Christmas tree! (ho-ho-ho!, hee-hee-hee!)
A Harriette in disguise?
What the heck?
Roll out the barrels!
It's like having money in the bank
Yin and Yang
It's a dogs life
Peace in the neighbourhood
Holy Roamin' Empress, OVH, and Slush Puppie must have been here before
And at last, this is my personal favourite Christmas Song. I am sure you have yours as well. I have posted this last year and will do so next year again. The great Klark Kent, before he lowered himself to join the Police. ;-)
In the morning of Christmas Day I am throwing in some snippets that have been floating around these days in the Vindobona Blogosphere. Read about the pie in the sky, attached to a weather balloon, naturally reported first by the BBC.
The Catholic church has introduced "The Catholic App", (watch out Richard Kopf for some more religious advice) and once again we won't have snow in Vienna for Christmas.Then there is this incredible story about Christmas Carol singing in German soccer stadiums, in Berin and Cologne that was. Amazing and abolutely lovely stuff.
"Frohe Weihnacht! (Merry Christmas)"
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, safe and healthy 2017 with lots of Hashing. Hope to see some of you at Eurohash 2017.
