Christmas Market

This week is the opening of the Christmas Market in Freiburg. I took advantage of a nice sunny day and took it in. A couple of the photos are blurry as there was some wind moving the lights around and also there were LOTS of people who were on the go as well.
This is what I saw when I entered the area where the booths are set up. Nothing like a fat 'ole German wurst to start your shopping. They were selling these like there was no tomorrow!






This booth had items that were all homemade of wool. Here the booth-keeper is demonstrating one of her wrap around head bands. She is wearing a red one. You wrap it around and around your head and then you loop the little foo-foo under, through and up to keep it in place.(see the side of her head-band) She was working with some very fun ladies who were really enjoying trying everything on their shopping spree!
As you can see below, some of the booths really had a lot of stuff. You really had to concentrate to see everything!





Notice the 'moose' angel!




Kids earning a little cash playing carols. They were doing a great job!

A little toe-tapping band!
