Yesterday was the start of the Christmas Season here in Brno. There is a huge outdoor market in Svobody náměstí (Freedom Square) and it begins when the Christmas tree is lit. We grabbed some hot wine and waited for the lights to come on.
It seemed that I was the only excited one because I've never been to a big tree lighting ceremony. Turns out, its not that exciting. It was fun to do the count down, in Czech, with everyone in the center but the actual turning on of the lights was a bit of a let down. They could have had some fireworks or something...
But the tree is HUGE! It'll stay up until the day after Christmas. The market will be open until Christmas Eve.
Churros! Traditional Czech food, dontcha know.
Forgive the horrible photo of me, but Santa was there!
Oh, that is not snow in the pictures, just some flurries. Can't leave the room without two pairs of pants now!
