The Swiss wintermarkets look gorgeous. Here, in the Southern US, we almost exclusively have spring and summer farmers markets but I love the idea of mistletoe and cinnamon bark from the farm.

Great photos and lovely stories. You are A few years back, I traveled to Switzerland for business with a company located outside Baden. I fell in love with the local Christkindlesmarkt. Walking through the streets of the old city (sorry I can't remember the name, Bremgarden, maybe?) smelling the wursts being grilled, sipping mulled wine to keep warm, viewing the vendors wares. Great memories. Kerrin,

Glad to have you back ! :) Jack (eyeflare travel), Jack #1 that is. ;) Yes indeed, that Dad is mine, haha ! You learn something new everyday, right ? Especially with Google too ! Emma, I know - that cinnamon really was my favorite thing I saw. It's just so cool, right - when you've only ever seen little jars of powder ! The snow will be here soon enough I am sure. We had our first snowfall last week, and there's plenty more where that came from. I agree - it goes hand in hand with the holidays. Love how you decorate, sounds so pretty - and such fun too (popcorn !). Thanks for sharing with us. Jack (#2), thanks ! And once again, I totally agree with you ! I never take it for granted, and always realize how very lucky I am - to live where I do... and by that I don't mean 5 minutes from the market... I mean - in Zurich !! :) Meeta, glad you enjoyed the walk around the Swiss market with me ! I bet you have some fantastic markets there in Germany too. Wherever it is, you can't avoid those aromas of Glühwein, that's for sure ! haha ! Jen, missed you here. Glad to have you back ! :)

Keep up the good work!

Everything looks so wonderful. I suppose the only thing that could make it look more magical would be a nice dusting of snow. We just had our first real snow here in Maine the other night, and my spirits jumped immensely. Nothing says Christmas to me like snow, apple cider, and now - little bread men! I've not done too much indoor Christmas decorating in the past, but I do like to put together winter displays of cedar and dogwood and willow boughs. Last year I added some glittered driftwood to the displays. And of course I still enjoy stringing popcorn and cranberries! Wow, look at that cinnamon!

I suppose 'Dad' is Kerrin's dad, thanks for teaching me something new about my homelands, I didn't know the 'kissing under the mistletoe' tradition was actually Scandinavian - Always thought it a U.S. tradition for some reason.
