The spirit of festivity has come to Leipzig with the opening of the Christmas Market, the Weihnachtsmarkt, on the 22nd of November. It’ll be here for a whole month, complete with a giant Christmas tree, gift and food stalls and beautiful decorations of the city.

Local-made ornaments and decorations are a staple here, there are numerous stalls for wooden, glass and woven Christmas tree decorations, as well as incense, candle and pottery stalls, which I’ve seen around Easter as well.

Glass baubles with metal rotating paddles inside them. They move when heated by a light!
