Last Friday we went to our first German Christmas Market this year. We visited the Christmas market in Heidelberg. German Christmas Markets are a pretty big deal here. It is basically a big festival with lots of booths of handmade gifts such as ornaments, soaps, hats, scarfs, foods, candles, etc. They also have a few rides for the kids such as merry-go-rounds, and a few other things. Sometimes there is even an ice skating rink. There are also a lot of booths with food and drinks.
I was able to eat my favorite German festival food, a Kartoffelpuffer mit Knobisosse. It's basically a potato pancake with garlic sauce and is so good! So far we have only seen them during this time of year at the Christmas markets.
Collin had sausage and we shared some Heisse Maronen (roasted chestnuts). We love roasted chestnuts and had them the first time this year last time we went to France.
Caden had a great time too and even took a nap while we were there. He loves looking at people and Christmas lights.
Here are some pictures from our first Christmas Market outing.
