Whenever the calendar marks the start of December in a year, my mind and heart automatically switch to a festive mood.
Twinkling lights all around, big Christmas trees and discounts in shopping malls signal that Christmas is on its way.
It is not only on 25th, but every day in the month of December becomes a celebration in small and varied ways.
I celebrate in December primarily by seeing a new place every year. Once I went to Goa in India, once to the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, once to a Christmas village in Switzerland and another year I explored the Christmas market in Strasbourg in France, which is one of the oldest and biggest Christmas markets in Europe.
Today I will share with you all my experience of visiting the Christmas market (or as the French say “Marche de Noel”) in Strasbourg.
