When we went to Christmas markets in our younger days. The would be one or two police officers and there weren't any safety bollards to prevent cars. A certain people follow a certain religion.
I don't mind some Christmas markets but I wish they stopped with the man-made rubbish; you can tell if things are by machine in mass production. I just like walking round in the cold being nosey with mulled wine.

I just wish they would ban pop music at Christmas it is bloody everywhere. My children's stereos and every sodding shop. How anyone can prefer this stuff to Handel's Messiah is a deep mystery to me...
Christmas for me these days means usually a heatwave and 1000s of drunken backpackeres on Bondi beach. I avoid it.
I spent 2 Christmas' in Connecticut in the snow with Americans who did the full bit and it was kind of glorious although at one when we all went for a walk in the snow in the afternoon and found a dead baby deer which was rather sad. I envy you Hedda. Only visited Australia once. Magnificent country. Despite the spiders.

We would hate Handel's Messiah just as much if we had to listen to it while searching for cottage cheese.
