The Christmas markets are something I have really enjoyed these last two years in Germany. After the year in England, where the holidays came and went almost without notice, these markets always create a festive mood. Aside from some general carnival-like games and rides, they have an abundance of great fried and sugary food, and best of all hot spiced wine to help warm up.
Always on the lookout for type (equally interested in the bad as with the good), the Frankfurt Weihnachtsmarkt has plenty of typographic eye candy in addition to the culinary treats.
