With the start of Advent on Sunday, Christmas season has fully begun here in Germany. One of the staples of a German Christmas are the Weihnachtsmärkte, or Christmas markets. To say we are excited about the markets doesn't even touch our true feelings. These markets were one of the first items to appear on our "pro" list when we were deciding to move to Germany. John is beside himself with glee at the mere mention of their name. And man, we're going to see a bunch of them. Because you are going to be assaulted with Weihnachtsmarkt pictures for the next 3 weeks, I thought I'd link you to some information on their history and appeal.
Click on this link to read about the markets from Germany's official tourism site, including information on every market city in the country. John and I will be visiting the Dresden, Görlitz, Nuremberg, and Bamberg markets.
We'll be adding pictures to a Christmas album on Picasa.
