Re: OT Christmas Stamps

Monica thank you for passing the slivovitz to me !!   I only ever had one
and it was in Nuremburg in January with snow everywhere and freezing cold
and on our return to our hotel after a day in the snow the lady at the front
desk said " you two need a drink"   I have never felt cold since - 19 year
later !!   But I remember it tasted very nice  God  Bless Gwen
