First

At first advent there is traditionally an christmas market in our village.
It isn't attractive at all (You see the whole market :-/  ) 
It has a big competitor, an idyllic and (localy)  famous  market 4 miles away  the market at Schloss Lichtenberg
Nevertheless I went to our local event - the volunteer firebrigade (FFW) make  some delicious potato pancakes with selfmade apple sauce. Yummie!
(And I would get a lot of trouble if I wouldn't support the FFW, including my eldest son :-D  )
