I am incorporating Christmas traditions from Transylvanian Siebenburgen Saxons, Burgenlanders and Lithuanian heritages.  I recently visited Transylvania with my Mother Maria who was born there in 1939.  It was her first trip home in 70 yrs.  My Father was  born in Burgenland Austria and my Husband's parents were born in Lithuania.
