December 1st begins the locate Christmas markets. They are featured all over the area. We have seen the one in Bern and today in Biel and soon the favored Christmas market in Mulhouse France :)
All through the city streets the sellers set up litte wooden huts. They decorate the outside with pine branches and other festive decor and set up shop on the inside. It kind of reminds me of the Allen town Art Festival, meets NYC street venders, meets Christmas craft show. People sell all sorts of things from yummy food like crepes and hot wine to sausage, dried fruit, teas and chocolate, both to eat or gift. And there are lots of other gifty items evrywhere like blown glass, jewelry and candles, ect. All the streets are lined with Christmas lights and in the center is a fire pits for people to sit, eat and watch. As we walked by this particular intersection I heard a song I recognized besides Mariah Careys christmas.. which I love, they were playing Leeland. There was a group of middle school aged kids preforming a skit. That made me really excited! It was a fun day at the Christmas market. The only downer was that I started a cleanse with Ami today only fruits and veggies so I was dying. I have no self control which is why I am trying to do it and everything smelled and looked delicious. So I will be going back in a few days for sure!
