It's Christmas in Luxembourg! The Christmas markets have popped up all over Europe and we had so much fun visiting our charming market right here in downtown Lux, just a few minutes from our house. We checked out the lights at night, and came back on St. Nick's day for a festive lunch. There were merry-go-rounds, accordions, school choirs, foie gras spaetzle, gromperekichelcher (potato pancakes), Mettwursct (Luxembourgish sausage), a giant Ferris wheel, hot cocoa (like melted chocolate in a mug), Santa hats, fondue, schneeballenträume (giant "snowball" donut-like things) and giant licorice stings (which the kids bought with their allowances).
How could we not love it? Everywhere we went, people wanted to peek at Elizabeth -- it's such a small, friendly community here.
