Gdańsk Christmas Market

Gdańsk Christmas Market

Now that it's December, the Christmas season is in full swing. The Gdańsk Christmas market sprung up a week ago with rows and rows of booths selling everything from hot wine, grilled cheese, Christmas ornaments, hats, hot wine, artwork, waffles, Hungarian funnel cakes, and more hot wine.

I think the pictures say it all. Last year's market took the 2nd place in Europe awarded by an organization that judges these things. We'll see where it lands this year, but it is definitely a joyous affair.

Oscypek, the smoked sheep cheese from the highlands. I've always loved the intricate decorations.

Not rusty tools and screws, but everything made out of chocolate
