Christmas markets

December is traditionally the month for Christmas markets. Also here in my home town Dendermonde there was one today.

Unfortunately, it was not very worth while. If you compare it to those Christmas markets in Germany (I have experienced them in Cologne, Aachen and Dortmund) it was just an ordinary market day. No stalls with Gluhwein or warm chestnuts, no hot chocolate, no candy, no Christmas decorations. Just stalls galore where jenever was sold (jenever is the Flemish form of gin)...

Next year I'll stay home (it was cold and there was not a free space in one of the cafés) and have a drink there!
