Christmas Markets

Smiling Sam

I know there are lots of Christmas Market fans on the forum so when I came upon this article I thought I'd pass it along.

Interesting article, Sam. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I'm surprised so many markets are open after Christmas. Perhaps it's due to the loss of business during the pandemic. I remember folks in Rothenburg several years ago suggesting they might hold the market open a few days longer after a break for Christmas Day. Perhaps this will be the new normal!

Not a one on XMAS Mkts on the Rhine! I just hope hot and steamy refers to the gluhwine and not the crowds possibly infected with the Omicron variants of COVID

AlanS, I think the Covid will be with us forever and in a variety of variants as well. At least, that is, until the next new bug (natural or laboratory grown) replaces it on the front pages or the six o-clock news. And you're right, sadly they did skip the Rhine.
