Pictures from the Christmas Markets!

Here are some photos from the Essen Market! 




















Here's one of the shops that catch a lot of missionaries' eyes.  Alongside Nutcrackers, they have these figures called "Räuchermans", or "smoker men", which are these wooden figures that usually have animal-fur beards.  You can put incense in them and light it inside, then it looks like they're puffing smoke out of their mouths.  It's pretty funny.  I probably won't get them this year but I am considering getting one next year.  They're probably some of the most German things I've seen.
