mainz

Went to the Weihnachtsmarkt in Mainz with my friend Anne on Sunday.







I had never seen a Weihnachtspyramide before. I wish I'd gotten a better picture of it. But basically it's a rotating tower (usually table-decoration size; this one is about twenty feet tall) that has Christian and traditional figures on it, along with candles.

Speaking of candles, I had not realized that anyone still put candles on Christmas trees, but Anne tells me they do. I'm sure it must be beautiful . . . just keep that bucket of water close at hand.
