Since we were just home for Thanksgiving, we weren't able to spend Christmas with our extended family this year. We chose the most Christmasy place we could imagine. Berlin, Germany with it's German Christmas markets. We spent 4 days wandering the city, strolling through Christmas markets, drinking mulled wine, eating Weinerschnitzel, and staring in awe at the craftsmanship. Christmas music was played at all times (always in English, which we thought was strange). Technically, Santa didn't come this year, but thanks to Uncle Matthew putting in a good word for you, he did call us in London before we left as well as send an email. Enjoy!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
Our hotel had this gorgeous tree waiting for us to pose for pictures.
The picture below was the view from our hotel room. We would HIGHLY recommend staying at the Sofitel. Their service was extraordinary. It was the little extras- Grace's bed already in the room and set up upon arrival. That's HUGE when traveling with a little one, and unfortunately not always the case. They even gave her a teddy bear and rubber ducky. The rooms were clean, big and updated, especially for European standards. We would rank it up there as being one of the top hotels we've ever stayed in. Good thing we found a great deal! Maybe not everyone is as crazy as we are to vacation over xmas.
Our Christmas dinner.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. We tried these for our first time. Warm and soft, but not much of a taste.
Next up: touring the city of Berlin.
