I went to my first German Christmas Market today in Baden Baden, which is about 1.5 hours from us and about 30 minutes from the French border. It was a cute little town and the Christmas market was really awesome. It didn't disappoint. There were tons of cute stalls, good food, and even alternates to the usual bratwursts (which I'm already sick of!).
I found some cool stuff at the stands, which were pretty diverse. There was a stand with hand carved Indian wood pieces that I bought myself something from, a bought a pair of alpaca gloves because I was not dressed appropriately for the day (20 euro, I didn't think that was terrible), some truffle-honey, and a piece of nougat.
Most of the others around our area open later this week or this weekend. I'm excited to check out a bunch.

My non-bratwurst try. It was kind of like monkey bread with mushrooms mixed in and then a peppercorn sauce on top. It was good, but very rich. It could have been half this size and been perfect. For 4 euro's though, it wasn't badly priced.
German nougat candy, these are the milky chewy things with pistachios on them that you may have seen and always wondered about - these were actually good. I tried a salted caramel one ;)
