Exploring German Christmas Market in Krefeld Linn

[@mariebruzdowski6466]

I love Mike's video with his Mom. She is so awesome! You are so fortunate to have her still with you to share your adventures

[@kh3612]

I really enjoyed this video. I've not been to a Christmas market and this was so peaceful. Quiet music and quiet people all enjoying themselves. No screaming kids, and no rude, loud adults. Atmosphere is much more reserved than in America. Enjoy the holidays! 🎄🥰☮️

[@jwilcox4726]

Yeah I have never done the crowds I don't know, & thought it was fun to wait in the heat for 2 hrs. for a 2 min.ride, $7.00 for a medium soda? Naw that was for the kids when young. My money is better spent elsewere these days. Like my turn now.

[@Mansikkacake]

love this video as I really want to visit christmas market in Germany at some point. also yes totally agree that we need to remind ourselves that the rest of the world is way more civilized and well behaved society than the US.

[@nadogrl]

@@Mansikkacake - Small towns can be peaceful anywhere in the world. No need to badmouth America.

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

I really liked this Xmas market because no toys from Asia, yapping dog toys and such things that doesn't belong to this season.

[@horacephistbump]

What are these "holidays" you want Mike to enjoy? He is at a Christmas market. Christmas.

[@kgoetz5766]

Love your videos! - You have an amazing personality and a genuine kind soul! Your Mom is to be cherished! Life moves so fast- Glad you are spending time with Mom, you can see the joy on her face when you are with her!

[@shahlabadel8628]

best description of mr. German in Venice! a genuine kind soul!!

[@Liz-in8lu]

Right?! You can tell he’s a good human by how calm he was with the animals.

[@danjohnson887]

My heritage is German on my mother's side. I am a Roush (now spelled Rausch). This brought back memories of my family who have now passed on. The holidays are bittersweet for me, but I like to be reminded. To everyone out there who may be a bit lonely this time of year, remember who you are and treasure those lovely memories of happier times.

[@PaulLoughrin]

Same here. I am mainly Irish, but do have a little German in me from my mom's side. A lot of those Christmas decorations look familiar, from when I was a kid growing up in the 70's. Merry Christmas from Florida, USA.

It won't be long b4 this is outlawed. Hurts the Muslims feelings.

[@boutiquebabe]

@@jackdarren9210 wow your male Karen is coming through

[@zaporizhiaisukraine1589]

@@boutiquebabe He is right. Many cities in Germany stopped calling them "Christmas Markets" instead calls them "Winter markets" or "Holiday Markets" in order not to offend the muslim overpopulation. Same thing with butcher shops and open air pig meat sausage places. The smell of cooked or raw pig can offend the muslims so , they are closing them down one by one.

[@BILLOFRIGHTSDANGER]

There seems to be 2 classes of people. One's who try to make things nice for other and ones who don't. You bring happiness wherever you go. Think of the artists making beauty quietly in their homes so this market would be so lovely for others. Very very nice. Thank you for sharing your family too. 💕👌😊

You should move back to Germany-life right now is better than U.S.A.Deutschland ist besser fuer Familia !

[@craftlover9702]

I have always wanted to go to a German Christmas market. Probably never will happen so glad there are videos such as yours to give us a chance to see what they are all about!

[@Habakuk_]

Chicago has a similar one to Germany because there is a big German community there.

[@judithschoner6433]

Beautiful Krefeld-Linn and "Castle". This is so romantic 😍, and the people are friendly too, a big advantage against the large Christmas Markets in towns like Duesseldorf. The prices are so reasonable, I couldn't believe it. I paid more here in the US at my Christmas Shopping this week. And of course, snow is a must at this time of the year. Bundle up GiV and mom, and stay happy and healthy 💖.

[@Goodshaft]

All the Handmade items , with German Engineering at it best ! That pea soup sure looked yummy ! Nice and peaceful market...............my kind of style !

Krefeld looks like a simply magical place Mike. I am going to visit there in the future after watching your video. Always great to see your mother too.

[@mikethemike232]

The Mayor of Krefeld will surely like your comment. He is Meyer the Mayor, by the way. Good to hear from an 'outsider' that our city can still impress. Recently we get the feeling that The Krefelder is a species that is only happy when it can voice its discontent about the city, especially online.

[@marksquires4836]

@@mikethemike232 Hi Mike. Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are saying. I am in Brisbane, Australia and we have our fair share of discontented as well. Krefeld looks like an amazing place with rich culture and history. I look forward to traveling there in the future. All the best to you Mike and all the lovely folk there in Krefeld Germany. God bless you and Merry Christmas. 🎅🍻🥂🦞🥮🍬🎄

[@bjoern0975]

@@marksquires4836 Don't be surprised to not find an old castle and quaint cobblestone streets when you go to Krefeld city center. The old town of the district of Linn (shown in this video) is to be found at the south-eastern fringes of the city of Krefeld - so sort of in the suburbs. Krefeld does have many other pretty and quiet neighborhoods and pleasant parks, but the city center nowadays is pretty blant, as - like so many other cities here - it suffered from WWII bombings, non-descript post-war reconstruction, and nowadays the demise of stationary retail.

We had a great discussion about it, and she spoke of the difference, in many ways, of people and attitudes.
