Christmas Markets, Germany

Our annual trip to the Christmas markets this year was to Cologne for 2 nights and then on to Dusseldorf on Sunday. We had a fantastic time. I particularly love Cologne (my third time there).
I didn't go too crazy with the decorations this year but did bring home a couple more for the tree.

Kolsch!
The coaster is what the waiter uses to keep tabs of how many we had.

The medieval night market in Siegburg just outside Cologne was great.
