Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

Oberurseler Weihnachtsmarkt



I bought these finger puppets at the Christmas Market last night! Aren't they cute?! Of course, I'm planning to use them with my ESL students. I think they'll have a lot of fun with the mermaid with the little coconut bra, don't you?!! :)

Aside from puppets, there were many other crafts - most of it the same stuff you'd see at Saturday Market in Portland (jewelry, ornaments, soap, wooden toys). Plus there were local delicacies - meat on a stick (a big hit with the carniverous Brazilian) and Gluhwein (hot red wine - a big hit with all of us as it was very cold).
Next weekend I am going to the staff Winter party (alone as Murilo has to return to work on Wednesday). And, Jess and I are going to another Christmas Market - this time to Bad Homburg with our neighbors upstairs. We've heard this is the best one in the area so we are hoping to find some cool Christmas gifts!
