DISCLAIMER: So, I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm basically a German celebrity now. I thought I should let you all know that you're reading a famous person's blog right now.
I was casually meandering through the Gedarmenmarkt Weihnachtsmarkt and some lady came up to me to interview me about why I chose to go to the Weihnachsmarkt. Tonight, I'll be broadcast into the homes of billions of Germans on their evening newscast--pretty much making me an overnight celebrity.
I promised that I would post some pictures of one of these Christmas Markets. Now, I've been to a couple but I only took my camera out a few times and par usual didn't document the actual cute part...just the parts that I thought were completely random. Obviously Germans have a completely different understanding of Christmas than we do...

| yea...Carni Christmas anyone? |
 |
| Nothing says Christmas like a zombie in a cage. |
 |
| I love Halloween...but really? At a Christmas Market? |
 |
| I refuse to ride anything that can be assembled in 2 days. |
 |
| Those are swings that are like 120' in the air! Terrifying not to mention freezing! |

Okay, so that is just the really commercial Christmas Market...the other ones are actually charming all though entirely too crowded for my liking. Below are photos of one of the nicer ones in Berlin (but this is just a sample of more than 40 this year).
In other news, I apologize for not blogging much lately. It seems I've been in sort of a sour mood all week dealing with the (endless) German bureaucratic bullshit. I'm trying to put that behind me and look forward to the upcoming holiday season. That being said you all are welcome to send me good luck in my job pursuits. The whole task at the moment seems daunting.
