Yesterday vendors were putting the final touches on their booths. The last light strands were being added to the pedestrian zone of the city. On my way to the gym, I observed a second, huge Christmas tree being raised at the Marktplatz. Plus, there are tons of smaller evergreens that have been attached to street lamps and poles all throughout the city. Not that I would do this, nor am I advocating it, but it seems like it would be pretty easy to borrow one of these little trees for one's own holiday decorations!

| Whooooo are you looking at? |
 |
| Vendors have adorned their stands with a lot of different animals. |
 |
| Anyone a fan of roosters? Anyone? For your garden? |
 |
| "Bin im Garten" - I'm in the garden. Well, I don't think frogs are in the garden right now, but maybe in the summer? |
 |
| Either this is ninja bear, hostage bear, or a gummy bear that someone has liberated from the Haribo factory. |
 |
| This pigeon I photographed on the way to one of Bonn's outdoor ice rinks. |
 |
| Who knew that moose were willing advertisers of Gluehwein? |
 |
| The final light strands were being stretched across the sidewalks today. I can't wait to see everything on at night! I do wish that I had a nicer camera and a tripod for capturing those dark shots! |
Today the market officially opens! I am going to need a lot of friends to visit with me, as I may be working up a plan to visit as many food/drink vendors as I can! And, who wants to enjoy all these things alone, right?
I would put one of those roosters in my garden... Wish I were there to sample the Glühwein and Waffeln with you!
