Christmas Market in Hamburg

Christmas time again. It is nice to be home for the Holidays and to meet up with friends and family.
Customary as it has become I gathered with friends to visit the beautiful Christmas Market in my
home town Hamburg. Enjoy the pictures and imagine freezing weather, beautiful music
and the taste of hot spicy wine.

Two beautiful Angels in a parade on the main street "Mönckebergstrasse" (named after a former mayor of Hamburg).

Happy gathering in a tent where hot, spicy wine by the name of "Glühwein" (glowing wine) is being served.
Here is one of many tasty recipes.
