It seems like a major part of Xmas in Europe are the Christmas Markets. I thought Strasbourg was the only one in the area, but I was sadly mistaken. Any self-respecting french or german town, hamlet, or microscopic village has one - it's just that Strasbourg is the one with by far the largest number of vendors and visitors.This picture of Patty was taken at Gengenbach, which is a small German town about an hour southeast of Strasbourg. This was recommended by some friends of ours, and it was much smaller and manageable than some of the other ones we ended up going to.
I think in all we ended up going to about 7 Xmas markets, so I'll try to post some of the other pictures from those later.
