The season begins....

Today the Christmas Market will be opened in town. Until the 23rd of December about 50 stalls will sell hot punch, food and decorations around the Market church. Usually I work too much in December to care for walks in town. At weekends it's often so packed that you are pushed, no matter where you want to go. Still, it can have a special atmosphere, especially when there's real snow. There won't be any today, but 4 years ago we had a dream like December (not for the insurances). Maybe I'll get some photo of this year's market later - these are from 2009:
