This year the Novak family will celebrate together on the 12th day of Christmas rather than on main first day, and we will do so in the City of St. Anthony in Texas at the home of Rich and Lucy, Emily and Stephen. We send warm wishes to friends and family spread all over the world.
The pictured village is Brutovce [Bru-tov'- seh] in Slovakia where Michael’s mother’s family – the Sakmars – are from. The mountains in view are the Tatra Mountains on the border of Poland, along the last of the Swiss Alps dwindling off toward the East.
