Christmas Market

Small Town, Big Event 

Today some of us went to a local Christmas market after church. This is the kind that is up for two days. Stands are put along the main streets of the city center - all closed to traffic - and crowds come out to enjoy Glühwein, Fondue, Äpfelkuechli, and Wurst, and to buy sundry specialties or handmade goods or Advent wreaths. 


Not yet Advent, but soon.


A pretty town






This bread was a meter long, more than a yard. A looooooooooong roll of Wienerli hung above. A length of the latter went into the former, with various toppings, and Voila! Sandwich. One could ask that it be cut into sections. 



Thus


This is an old army field kitchen (the black machine, not the girl). 



Sami Klaus is having difficulties.



The Reason for the Season


Lovingly crafted







Saint Nikolas and two Schmutzlis had a basket of goodies for little ones who would say a poem. (At least that used to be the deal.)

Christmas markets opened this weekend in big cities all over Europe.
