Our family has a tradition of spending Christmas in a different country each year. We use our frequent flier miles and rent a house for about 3-4 weeks with the intention of immersing ourselves in the culture and learning about the people of one part of the world. This year (by a very complicated process of consulting the wishes of our children and availability of airline tickets) we have narrowed our choices down to Peru and Eastern Europe. So far, we have not been able to find houses to rent in Peru and are very leery of joining the organized tours which are recommended for safety. What do you know about Eastern Europe at Christmas? Will it be too dark, dreary, and polluted or can we look forward to snow, picturesque villages, and Christmas traditions? Does anybody know any contacts for renting a house in the Czech Republic or Poland or Hungary? I would like people pictures, my children would like to ski, and my husband would like quiet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks In Advance!
