Considering the snow, we actually ended up doing quite a bit this weekend. Friday night was my work's Christmas party on post. It was held at a hotel, and there was a big German dinner, a bar, and lots of music and dancing. We sat with a few of the younger people I work with and stayed late into the night. It was a lot of fun...we enjoyed the dancing and good company!
Saturday we were pretty exhausted from staying up late, so we mostly just spent time at the gym, picking up groceries, and watching movies at home. Our living room is so cozy at night with our Christmas lights on, and all the snow outside, that we don't feel guilty staying in.
Sunday, after some loads of laundry and a trip to the gym, we decided to hit up one of the famous Christmas Markets here in Germany. The one I really want to see is in Nuremberg, but that seemed like a little too far to go so late in the day, so instead we drove to see the one in Weiden. Theirs started in the 1600s, making it the 2nd oldest in Bavaria. It's small, but really cute! We brought Peach & Rambo too, and they loved getting attention. Although we were only there for an hour, we ate some good food and bought a wooden Santa at a little booth. I definitely want to go back to another one soon...it's just hard to stay there for longer than an hour since its been in the 10s-20s outside!
Yup, another great weekend! But now it's back to work...although we do have a 2-hour late start this morning since a lot of the roads are still closed. Two more weeks until Christmas vacation!!
