Munich’s Christmas Markets: Residenz
Posted by Jul on 9 December 2008
Christmas markets everywhere! They are all starting to blur together in my memory, to be honest. Must be all those hot alcoholic beverages (like the Heisse Oma – a potent eggnog-like thing – that Em made me drink last night).
The market in the courtyard of the Residenz has a fairytale-like theme going on, complete with singing moose head and scary St. Nick (I’m wondering if the Chinesischer Turm St. Nick used this guy as a model). Not that I can think of a fairy tale that involves a moose head belting out German versions of American Christmas carols, but surely there is one. Right?
The most disturbing part (don’t pretend these things aren’t disturbing) was this little fairy’s repetitive hand gesture. And no, I’m not immature. You are.
