German Christmas market time

One of the things I love the most about this time of year Germany are the amazing Christmas markets! Würzburg the city I live is known to have one of most atmospheric Christmas markets in Germany with around 140 beautifully decorated wooden booths selling Christmas goodies and delicious food. All of the booths are illuminated with the soft glow of Christmas lights which really come to life at night time. During December the whole city is filled with gorgeous Christmassy smells of cinnamon, sugary aniseed spices and hot mulled red wine.
Rob and I spent our Friday evening strolling around the Würzburg Christmas market in the icy cold sampling all the yummy food!


It's not Christmas in Germany without cinnamon and sugar coated nuts!

Looking for my favourite aniseed  flavoured hard candy

Rob trying  to warm up while drinking hot mulled red wine. I had to miss out this year for a good reason!

Why can I never find my name on these mugs?

Freezing my butt off  cause I couldn't quite manage to button my coat up over my huge preg belly.

Wow, the pictures look amazing, I so wish I could go to a real German Christmas Market, IN Germany! I have been to many in England, and today I was actually at a joint Swiss/Austrian/German Christmas market here in Prishtina, but it is clearly not the same!!

Congratulations on the pregnancy!!

Ps. I totally adore your hat!

That looks magical, and you look beautiful! It looks quite cold and I envy you--we've been experiencing freaky, scorching, insane summer-like weather here!
