friends traveling together, couples celebrating important<br />

milestones, cohorts toasting various birthdays and mothers<br />

Germany’s longest river and the second-longest, next to<br />

crafts and food festivals originated in this region of Europe<br />

and fans of the holiday will find more collectible keepsakes<br />

than they ever imagined.<br />
