What’s a German Christmas Market

They're quite common in most of the big cities (I've been to the one in Manchester quite a bit, that's been running since the 80s) you get to drink gluhwein, eat schnitzel, but wooden toys and get a bit cold and underwhelmed in the process.

Edinburgh has a regular Christmas Market. Not a German in sight.

Although I will admit it is superbly underwhelming.

Never seen the personally in Glasgow but I'm not there as often as Edinburgh
