For those of you who have been to the Christmas Markets in Germany, what do you like/dislike about them?
Just like to hear different people's experiences.

I think it is the people that are so fun to meet, so friendly and helpful. Just the beauty of their displays is eye candy. The smells of the food wafting through the air mixed with the scent of pine is like no other. Every one of the senses is entertained, delighted and enticed. The only thing I don't like is when it gets really cold because my feet go numb!

Been to hundreds. Loved almost all of them. The smell the lights, the food and the hot gluhwein (hot spiced red wine).
The only dislike would be that too many just seem to have vendors selling the exact same stuff.
Crafters markets and ones off the beaten path are my favorites.

There are just so many good things about them. There are so many gift possibilities at them, there are different, yummy foods, and the gluwhein, I get the "kinder gluhwein" as the regular one usually tastes too strong for me. They have things for the kids, like Santa Claus and carousels. We were just at one last night and my daughter rode the carousel over and over. The only thing I don't like is that it can be very crowded, you have to squeeze between crowds of people to get anywhere, plus there tend to be pick-pockets hanging around so you really have to be cautious with your stuff.

The music, the hot wine, ornaments, food and festive atmosphere. Kris Kringle Marts are great...
