Christmas Markets!

Merry Christmas everyone! I thought I'd use this opportunity to share some photos of Christmas Markets in Europe, originally a German tradition, now not just in Germany but most of the cities and towns along the German border in France as well as some parts of Switerland and in Austria.

The Christmas markets in French town Metz

A smaller scale market in Saarbruecken - doesn't mean it wasnt good though!

The Santa band entertain the crowds at night at the Saarbruecken markets

Beautiful hand made figurine at the Strassbourg (French town) markets

Gluewein and bread... perfect for a cold winter day!

There is no escape from that wonderful christmas spirit! (Strassbourg, France)

Hi

Funny I was going to do a christmas market blog myself but I won't - not this year anyway.

I went to the christmas markets in vienna and Bratislava. Excellent.

I was amazed at how pushy people were. If they want to see something they just push you out of the way. I got extremely p@&*ed off but my friend who's famlily is german told me to get over it, its just what they do!

Mmm love the gluwein! Ahh there are times I really miss christmas in in Europe. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Aaaaah Amy, such warm memories of my youth!

Gosh, doesn't it make the heartless, Americanised Malls of our world seem so flat and souless in comparison. Certainly no spirit at my local mall, just mad panic, mayhem and rude people everywhere... very little magick there Im afraid!

Thansk for sprinkling this little bit of fairy dust across my heart ...

Lilla ...
