A couple of years ago, the four of us went to Germany in December to see the Christmas markets there – and other things. They were great.
Chicago has what I have read is the largest German-style Christmas market in the United States. In keeping with the German influence, they call it “Christkindlmarket Chicago”. But in keeping with American political correctness, they don’t call it a Christmas market. Rather, they say it is a “traditional German holiday market”. The one thing I wonder, though. Do those who call it a “holiday market”, instead of a Christmas market, know what “Christkindl” means?
