Monschau, Germany Christmas Market






Christmas Markets are very common here. We experienced our first one this past weekend and it helped us get into the holiday spirit. We left all of our Christmas decorations back in Atlanta, so we decided to buy a few typical, German ornaments and a small, wooden tree to start us off. We had a light lunch of roasted chesnuts, potato pancakes with applesauce, and some more potatoes fried in a skillet and topped with mushrooms, onions, and cream--the regional specialties in Germany are yummy, but not at all good for your figure! We took a picture of a kielbasa for you meat eaters. We plan on doing more Christmas decoration shopping. We are going to another market in Cologne, Germany with some friends in a couple of weeks. Brussels also has one on the Grand Place that I'm sure we will check out too.
