Christmas Market Magic and The Nutcracker

Oh, Leipzig at Christmas time is just wonderful!!! Last night we had the great joy to have tickets for the ballet 'The Nutcracker' by Tchaikovsky. It was truly magical and transported us into a little Christmas dream world. As we looked out of the window at the Opera House while sipping champagne during the intermission we could see the snow covered Christmas Market below...and so here are some photos of our first visit to the Christmas Market one week ago. I hope you can smell the beautiful scent of roasted almonds, freshly baked biscuits and Gluehwein (mulled wine)!
