Nearly every city in Germany has a Christmas market. We visited the one in Mainz with Aleks, and I loved it! Sadly enough, it was my first trip to a Christmas market, as we seem to have missed them completely last year.
They have stands selling all kinds of things: German cookies and candies, bratwursts, candied nuts, Christmas ornaments, these [very expensive] nativity scenes above, warm hats/mittens/slippers, carousel rides for kids, etc.
On Aleks and Laura's last night in Germany, we invited over a German friend, Kimmo, and his family. Kimmo's family was friends with Aaron's family when they lived in Germany in the 1980's.
(L) Kimmo and Aleks; (R) Their daughter, Kristina, loved baby Lucas.
