There would be no markets (in our opinion) if there were no gluhwein (hot mulled wine). Germans are not foolish people. It's damp and snowflakes don't come down that often, cold rain does. Our temperature often is between 32 and 39 degrees. Markets feature ornaments, candy, roasted nuts,colorful toys etc. Wooden stalls form quaint villages on plazas as musicians entertain crowds.
Being at a market is like stepping into a postcard scene. After you've parked your car, no one is aggressive anymore! Mugs of wine are sipped and smiles get bigger. The number 1 priority of locals is to find friends and stand chatting near a table, conversing about global economic problems (just kidding, I don't know , my German is minimal). Shopping is a distant second in their minds. Some tourists, on the other hand , are on a mission to bring home European treasures.
Nurnberg is generally considered the most famous Christmas market. Two million people yearly visit this event, which is over 400 years old . A Christmas angel opens festivities and is often present. Inexpensive gifts for children are what inspired creation of markets historical.
