Oh wow so many wonderful Christmas markets, as much as we love Christmas in the UK, we don't do the markets as well as mainland Europe. I have only so far been to a number of markets in Bavaria, Germany and they were fantastic. You have opened my eyes for so many more.
Nicely done video my dear friends 🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️👍👍🥰
