Sister Garber and I returned to the Frankfurt Christmas Market this evening. She wanted to pick up some things for her missionary Christmas gifts. It was fun to go back.
Here are a few of the things we saw this evening:
The 100 foot tall Christmas tree. Imagine what they have to do to hold that up!
This time there was time to go into the Katie Wohlfahrt shop. These are my favorite Christmas ornaments!
The German Rauchermann, commonly known as a “German smoker,” is an incense-burning decoration from the Ore Mountains (the Erzgebirge). These German smokers are wooden figurines usually carved into small men. The upper part of its body is hollowed out so cone incense can be placed inside.
The handmade wooden ornaments are my favorite. But they are costly.
It’s fun to look at the detail. I’m deciding which ones I’d like to take home with me.
Here are a few other things that were interesting:
For dinner I had the most delicious baked potato with a mushroom creme sauce and cheese. It was hot and hit the spot!
The shop booths can be pretty elaborate:
Freshly dipped fruits
Wishing all a Merry Christmas!
