One thing that was much more enjoyable about the German Christmas markets versus the Swiss ones I've been to, is that the music that was played at the German markets was actually, imagine that, Christmas music. The photo above is of the castle courtyard in Stuttgart where we watched a brass band play everything from Jingle Bells to Hark the Herald. It was fun to sing along while sipping Glüwein.
The other night I walked by the Baden Christmas festivities which included one small ice rink and not much else and they were playing some rock song I had never heard of that had nothing to do with Christmas. And last year in Zurich, my husband and I went to see the Singing Christmas Tree, which consisted of a choir standing in the formation of a Christmas tree wearing Christmas outfits. Needless to say we were very disappointed when the Singing Christmas Tree began singing "Age of Aquarius" in accented English. It just seemed kind of crazy to go to all the trouble to dress like a Christmas Tree and then sing American rock and Broadway music. But maybe it's just me.

Had a Christmas party at my house last night and made Gluhwein. We drank the original pot of wine and added another bottle. It only has 4-5 ingredients and is so delicious.
Mmm. Sounds great. We served Glüwein for some guests on Saturday too.
Yes, I don't know too much about german and Christmas market. After all, I am not interested in it because my field is related to academics, so I provide academic services such as bachelor thesis writing and Dissertation writing Help; if any student needs help with any assignment quizzes, Feel free to contact me.
