Since I am well aware that not everyone here is a regular reader of my English Culture forum (and I assume that really NONE of you are), I'm going to post this here, in case anyone has any suggestions.

Here's my article about Victorian/Dickensian Christmas festivals and events:

(I apologize for the pun in the title...I couldn't resist).

If you know of any not on this list, please tell me. I want to make this list as comprehensive as possible. There are literally thousands of these types of festivals, and I wanted to cover some of the larger ones that are yearly events (I laugh at the "Victorian Christmas" at places like Dollywood and Branson, MO). But obviously I could never include them all.

Thanks.

Oh...I believe that the elements of it are the same. It's just...well...not in Germany.

But I suppose if you can't actually go to Germany for Christmas, this is a reasonable and good substitution. :)

Personally, I like Aachen's Christmas market. And I want to go to the medieval one in Cologne this year.

HaHa!

I've occasionally suggested to German students that I've known that they go and visit the "German market". They're highly skeptical, but they come back the next day with a stunned look and a "Hey, it's a *real* German Christmas market" comment :}

You'll just have to come and experience it yourself :)

(Not in Germany! it's in Europe, isn't that enough ? :)
