Christmas Markets in Germany

Nothing gets you into the holiday spirit like European Christmas Markets. It’s definitely something you have to experience in person. It is a time for family, friends, drinks, good food, and festive mania! You name it, they have it. I love to get ornaments and sample the chocolates. My kids love Kinderpunch and the rides. PJ loves the würsts and Glühwein. There is something for everyone. I don’t even want to think about the withdrawls I will have when we can’t hop in the car to check out a new market during the holiday season.
This year, we visited Ludwigsburg, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Esslingen, Vienna, Ulm and Triberg. Each one was fantastic. Here are some pictures…
