St. Nicholas Day 2010 (LH flight) #stnicks #saintnicholas #lufthansa

There is snow just about everywhere in central Europe.  With continued light snowfall, a blanket of snow already on the ground, and colourful sparkling lights over streets and at marketplaces, there is a quiet yet festive atmosphere in many cities and towns throughout the continent.

Today December 6 is known in many places traditionally as Saint Nicholas Day.

On the Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt am Main, the on-board snack arrived differently, this time delivered in a small white St. Nick's (Weihnachtsmann) pouch.  Inside the pouch were: a small card with a greeting and a description of St. Nicholas' Day, a cheese sandwich, a package of four small Lebkuchen, a little choco-Weihnachtsmann, and a mandarin orange.

Not bad for a snack ... on a one-hour intra-European flight a couple weeks before Christmas ...
