Rick Steve's European Christmas Dinner & Watch Party

This is an intimate, small-gathering event for those who love travel, Christmas, and Rick Steves. We are watching the PBS Show's famous episode, "Rick Steve's European Christmas".

The show discusses a lot of the religious components behind the Christmas traditions.
