Merry Christmas

We went to Strasbourg this past weekend, which is the “Capital of Christmas” (self-proclaimed, I’m assuming). The city gets all decked out for Christmas with lights, garland, and all sorts of decorations. It also hosts markets the entire month of December that sell spiced cookies, mulled wine, books, toys, German food, and almost anything you could think of really. We had a great time wandering the narrow cobblestone streets and taking it all in. Here are some pictures if you’re curious.

Strasbourg was a part of Germany until after World War I.
Now it’s French, but many buildings have a German feel.

Decorations, people, and the Cathedral in the background. 

A more imposing view of the Cathedral. 

Erin would take a picture of every single bakery if I let her.

A stand in one of the markets.
