Well we were out and about in Munich City center yesterday (Friday) evening - and a magical time we had of it too.
For those of you who don’t know it Munich Town center is largely pedestrianised. It has a beautiful medieval Town Hall (Rathaus) and Cathedral and is lined with modern shops.
What is more important right now, are the Christmas Markets. Everything is decorated like a wonderland. There is a huge Christmas tree outside the Rathaus lit with more lights than you could shake a stick at and there are stalls everywhere selling sweets, roast chestnuts, decorations, mulled wine, all manner of things - and some of the tastiest fast food it is possible to get.
There was a band playing from the town hall balcony and a choir singing and the market was literally thronging with the citizens of Munich, salted with the odd tourist, good naturedly enjoying the season. If you have never been I can heartily recommend it.

Sounds lovely Phil, I must admit to being a little jealous!
I have been to Christmas markets before but everything really came together. It was actually one of those experiences that one always remembers, in a small way a defining moment.
Pictures Added.
