Wow you have a "Christkindlmarkt" in Chicago and they even sell stuff from Germany there? That's awesome!
Yep! It's hugely popular and has been going on for many years. It's right in the heart of downtown Chicago, where our HUGE Christmas tree stands, so it's nice to have the tree surrounded by all of these booths and people milling about.
I took a pic of my German tree that I'll post on LJ so you can see. :-)
I just love it when it's really cold,you drink the mulled wine,have all those nice smells in the air,the beautiful lights,the music...it just makes the christmas season so special.
Yes! That's exactly what it's like! I went last year with my best friend Chris and the temperature that evening was perfect. Cold, but not absolutely freezing and the mulled wine tasted SO good. :-)
And guess what - today we had the very first snow this winter,yeah! It was not enough to last long but there is hope for more and a white christmas!
Does that mean I don't have to ship any over to you? *g*
