Weihnachtszeit in Munich

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Being in Germany during Christmas time has been so much fun. There are little Christmas markets set up all over Munich. There was a market set up near our office so we often had lunch at one of the vendors there.

German Christmas Cookies!

I baked German Christmas cookies with 3 of the girls from work, Susi, Cathrina, and Maggie. My favorite thing about cooking here is that you measure everything by weighing it instead of pouring it into measuring cups.

A little glüwein always makes baking more fun.

The finished product! Some definitely turned out better than others, but we had a great time baking together.

Marienplatz in December = Tourist Trap

Marienplatz was really pretty with all of the decorations and lights, but the vendors here had very poor quality, overpriced items. Overall, the markets in Munich were really pretty, but I liked the vendors a lot more in Dresden and Nuremberg.

One of my favorite spots to view Marienplatz from.
