We just returned from the German Christmas markets, and we had a very festive time. We visited the original Christmas market, the Christkindles-
markt in Nuremberg, several markets in Munich (above), plus markets in Ingolstadt, Augsburg and Memmingen.We're always amazed at the variety of 
items on sale. Our favorites are the stalls that sell accessories for nativity sets. We wonder how people know they're at a point in their lives when
they need to add to their nativity set a bale of hay, a few chickens or a lady baking bread.

In spite of the fun, festive atmosphere it was miserably cold. Only in 
Alaska have we felt that degree of cold--where the nasal hairs freeze when we breathe. When we got home tonight to a cold, snowy England it actually felt warm by comparison!

The photos are from above the stalls (you can see their striped tops).
