I look forward to hearing more about your German Holidays....<br /><br />Enjoy Yesterday we took our first ride on the carosel at the Weihnachtsmarkt in the neighborhood, it was too early in the morning for Gluhwein but just barely.

A Christmas market is not a Christmas market without Gluehwein (and snow, and freezing cold, wet feet, and frozen fingers). You wrote:
