Christmas Market!

Christmas time in Europe is just fantastic. They may not have the snow quite like in Saskatchewan or the cold, but they sure know how to do it up and make it festive. The big thing here is Christmas markets. Last year I was fortunate enough to head to Munich for a few days and partake in their huge Christmas market. That means tons of cute little stand selling all types of knicknacks and crafts along with all types of food and gluwein, which is hot mulled wine.

This past Monday on our day off, Chelsa, Sara and I headed down to one of the Christmas markets in Prague to do a little shopping and take in the festivities. The atmosphere is just fantastic and it was so much fun to eat hot candy covered almonds as well as different types of Czech pastries. Unfortunately it started to downpour while we were there - it's not quite cold enough for snow. So we took cover under an outside cafe where they have outdoor heaters and blankets. Really kind of cozy! Here are some pictures of the market. Enjoy!
