A1 in @GallupRealTrue the balloonists honor veterans by blasting their helium jets in the Tunnel of Fire. This is a super cool spectacle! #GallupRealTrue @NewMexico @Nicolette_O @travelcricket8 #travel #CultureTrav

A1 In #Estonia, the children have to sing for Santa in order to get their gifts. It's definitely unique, and so cute!

A3: We celebrate Christmas Eve (Wigilia) in Polish tradition. The dinner–consisting of multiple courses– is meatless, and has simple ingredients. This post describes the tradition (though we don't eat 12 courses, haha): https://t.co/H51eOyfcoZ #CultureTrav

A1: At my friend’s wedding in #Spain, we toasted with drinks from a flaming cauldron at midnight, to honor the bride’s roots in #Galicia. It was pretty epic. #CultureTrav

A2 We did our first two in #Helsinki and #Tallinn this year, but we want more Christmas Markets! We're hoping to make it at least a biannual tradition to get to some others during the holiday season.
