The Christmas markets here in Germany are everything they were hyped up to be, and more! They'll put you in the spirit of Christmas is .023985463 seconds flat!
With about two million visitors a year the Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt is one of the largest Christmas markets in Germany and one of the most famous in the world. So that's where we decided to go last weekend!
It had been cold and foggy the past four or five days and the sun finally came out and graced us with is presence and made me so happy!
Finding a parking spot was... interesting... to say the least. But we found a parking garage and all's well that ends well! We unloaded out of the car and walked a few blocks to the main square.
Holy moly it was c.r.o.w.d.e.d. Like, more people than I've ever seen at Disneyland crowded, and that's saying something!
I walked up a flight of stairs to a restaurant to get a view of the entire market.
Back to my pictures: the Frauenkirche church where a choir was singing out front.
Trinkets galore!
I suggested we buy an ornament from every Christmas market we go to, but then I was too overwhelmed with choices!

I want to take a more active approach to get myself and our family in our pictures.
Nom nom nom.
