Episode notes
In this, the inaugural Botstiber Christmas special, ten individuals from across Austria share with us their experiences from the country's many Christmastime festivities. Join us, as their stories take us from bustling Christmas markets in Salzburg to cozy, alpine cottages visited by Saint Nicholas and the dreaded Krampus.
Part two of Christmas in Vienna brings us to Christmas Eve and the 12 days of Christmas that follow. Unlike in the United States, Christmas Eve is often the height of celebration and gift giving across Austria. Holiday cheer is abundant, with stories of the Christkind (Eng: Christ Child), ancient traditions like the Rauhnächte (Eng: Smoke Nights), or more recent customs like the Friedenslicht (Eng: Light of Peace).
