GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET 15th November 2007

The welcoming sign in New Street.

We are greeted thirsty (sorry) firstly by the bar serving Gluhwein (mmmmm) and beers. I want to see the rest of the market so I forgo this opportunity.

Gifts including candles and ceramic buildings.

It's the cuddley toys!

Christmas tree baubles.

A friendly wave from the lady at the confections stall... stollen, chocolate and biscuits you could die for.

A variety of gifts including stacking dolls, tea-light bowls and carousels.

More candles and stuff.

The carousel.

Now it's time for some soul-cheering Gluhwein. %-)

The Xmas Pub, complete with moose.

The Floozie in the Jacuzzi watches the activities with interest.

Another food stall and restaurant.

Chocolate delights from Choco-King of Belgium.

Pyramids in all sizes feature among the assortment of decorations for sale.

The Council House in festive mood!
Now it's back to the Gluhwein stall for me...

One of the stalls at the Frankfurt Christmas Market, this one selling puppets and dolls.

A large selection of exquisite confectionery.

The market is very busy despite the rapidly dropping temperature.

Welcome to the traditional Christmas Market from Frankfurt, Germany and frohliche Weihnachten!
