Frohe Weihnachten

This year a new event was held in Vancouver. It was the first annual German Christmas Market. This market features a large assortment of traditional food, unique imported gifts and entertainment. Having a German background, I was practically inline waiting for the place to open as soon as I found out. It has been nearly 6 years since I last visited the motherland, so I was hoping to get my fix through the Market.

My cohort and I went on this German adventure and let me tell you, it was PACKED!!! I should have known better then to go Saturday evening in December…but you know….wait…apparently I didn’t :P While it was no more than 5 minutes in line to enter, I wish I could say the same about the food line ups. Not having had dinner yet and walking through the aroma of various Bratwurst, Raclette, and Roasted Chestnuts, my tummy was about to break out in tears. Fighting the urge to jump into each vendor stall and swipe myself a dish, we wandered through to check out each stall.

While I was a bit disappointed in the merchandise shopping selection, I absolutely loved presentation and atmosphere. There were a large variety of entertainers during the night, accompanied by music, that smell of traditional food again…which stalked my nose….wooden huts decorated in garlands and lights!

We picked up ourselves some Feuerzangenbowle (I wish I had a reordering of my co-workers pronouncing this) which was served in ceramic mugs. Tomorrow I will be venturing out again to this event with a group of my co-workers, and most likely be substituting my Feuerzangenbowle for something along the lines of warm apple juice :)
