yum yum, hot wine...


for some reason i'd never heard of Christmas markets before spending a few years in spain. there, it was my friends from finland that invited me to the german Christmas market in madrid. what a mix right? there i learned of all the creative goodies that one could buy as gifts for Christmas. I learned too, about hot wine. there are various names for this yummy brew of hot wine which can have fruit and nuts in it depending on which country you happen to find yourself in during the holiday season. I just love it, wandering through the markets on chilly nights, feasting upon all the goodies that are offered. what makes it especially special too is traveling these markets with friends, sipping hot wine, chatting, munching, shopping...

...do hope these days leading up to Christmas are good for you...
sending melodic Christmas carol hugs... do have a sweet weekend.

Delicious! I would love to go to an open air Christmas market. We have something like that here, but it's inside a building and not as Christmassy.
And oh, hot wine! I love it. That was a part of my childhood every autumn and winter.
Have a sweet and lovely weekend, dear Audrey.
