Delightful!

I was always a little perplexed about the 'Christkind'. He seems to take the place of Santa, who comes earlier in December.

How was the beer? :drinkingbeer:

Whether it is for a moment of pure leisure or escaping for a few hours to the countries where Christmas is celebrated in such a special and unique way, discovering the Christmas Art & Crafts ranging from glass to metal, leather, wood or even fabric, savoring roasted chestnuts, Flamenkuche, grilled sausages not to forget the pancakes, donuts and all imaginable sweets to be enjoyed with a mug of Glühwein or Mulled Wine, may the Magic start with a tour of the most beautiful Christmas Markets around the 3 Borders Country :thumbsup: !
