Germany's known for their Christmasmarkts and it is obviously why that is having lived here. Every square inch of public space has now been filled to the brim with lights, food booths, huge Christmas scenes, and ornaments. They are one frosted tree away from gaudy but it's been alot of fun seeing the city come alive with the holiday spirit.
Today, we took these pictures in the main downtown mall, KaDeWe. Father Christmas, Frosty the Christmas tree (?), and his snow elfs paid us a visit. They were all on stilts--standing 12 feet tall. I'm not sure what the significance of that was other than to give children joy today and nightmares tonight. Notice the little boy in the last picture cowering away from the ice princess. I have a feeling we've only seen the beginning of Winter Madness in Berlin.
