In Germany, Christmas markets are special highlights taking place during
the pre-Christmas time, also known as Advent. The Christmas market
season just started in the majority of towns and cities. Villages
usually choose one Advent weekend to hold their markets.
Each year, the German-American Community Office will take part in the
Kaiserslautern Christmas market. This year it will be on Santa Claus
Day, which is Thursday. GACO employees will present American and German
music groups, singers and dancers at a stage on Schillerplatz.
Christmas is just around the corner and you are in Germany. Getting
something typical and unique from Germany for your loved ones at home
would be the logical choice. Ideally, you would like to buy a souvenir,
yet a nice gift, but where do you look?
