Christmas in Germany

Christmas is a great time of year no matter where you are.  You see all the decorations and get to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

But Christmas in Germany is especially nice because of the many weihnachtmarks (Christmas markets).


This past Christmas I visited the Christmas markets in Bad Windsheim (that was the town I stayed in while waiting for an apartment), Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and Nürnberg.


The markets have something for everyone.  The wooden decorations available are really nice and creative.  You can also get some good food and sweets.

The market in Bad Windshiem was nice because it is small and you can enjoy the company of friends without a large crowd.

Glühwein, a popular warm drink

I read that Munich offers a nice market, so maybe next year I will check that one out.

Tchüs!
