Hi Janet, Thanks so much, that's very kind of you, glad you liked it. We love the German Christmas Markets, but this year, we are just reminiscing. We are planning our 2025 trip already, hope fully Hannover, Dresden & maybe Leipzig, but who knows? All the best, Gary & Janis

Hi, Thanks so much, that's very kind of you, glad you liked it. It is a wonderful city; we must go back in the summer sometime when it's not so wet or cold. I'm sure it will take on a new life when the sun is out and people are sitting outside the bars and restaurants. All the best, Gary & Janis

Beautiful videography (is that the right term?). The Christmas Markets always look so cool but we’re still trying to wrap our heads around traveling to Europe in Winter. Great job!

Hi Guys, Firstly, Germany at Christmas is magical, not just the twinkling lights but the atmosphere of the people - really worth experiencing. Being the time of year you're going to have to expect the weather may not be your friend, which means two things: dress and plan accordingly. Have a museum or two to take in, or explore something that interests you, or just become a fly on the wall, find a brauhaus or wirtshaus, have a couple of drinks and soak up the atmosphere. As you're coming a distance, probably plan to visit a few 3 to 5, but they can be tiring, and you judge them against each other. Go fo a mix of big 'n' small - That post we mentioned in the video would be a good starter. ourworldforyou.com/14-of-our-much-loved-german-christmas-markets/ Finally, videography - yep that's a word, and thanks so much. We have a strange little workflow. When we travel, I (Gary) take the still photos, and Janis shoots the video. When we get back, Janis writes the posts, constructs the socials and I build the web pages and edit the videos. It takes time, and I try to put in as much as possible; that's why there's so much commentary, but that takes time. That 15-minute video took me around 36 hours from over 40 minutes of footage, but I enjoyed it, and if I can encourage one person to have a great time, then it's worth it. Anyway, enough chatter, and have a great weekend. 🤞 you make it here one year and create a fantastic bunch of memories. All the best, Gary & Janis

Hey Gary, I'm a big fan of your videos. I watch them often as I consider them an oasis of tranquillity in an ever more 'untranquil world, to put it politely. I even use them in my classes sometimes. I was just watching this one with my wife and noticed your pronunciation of the city's name. May I point out it is pronounced Treer ( as in 'beer') rather than the 'Triyer' I think I heard. Best wishes for you and Janis. And happy Holidays. Greetings from an expat in Mexico.

Hi Luc, Thanks for that, I seem to have the uncanny ability with my pronunciation to make mistakes. There's a few from memory that spring to mind; Bremen, also in Germany, Valladolid in Spain, but worst of all it's the UK ones, even in my own country of Kent, Horsmonden. I sometimes ask how I pronounce where I am when I check in, but that sometimes gets me strange looks. Thanks for the advice, when I return to Trier, I'll know. Thanks again, Gary (& Janis)
