Being so tired with Proof Theory, Default Logic, dlvhex,... I decided to go out to get rid of stress, have some Christmas feeling, and catch some cold :-P

Among many Christmas Markets in Vienna, I chose the one Rathausplatz because it's very near, just 2 stations with tram J and 5 minutes of walking, and this is the very center of the city. It was 1 p.m., the sun was shining, no wind, but still very cold for me. Many people were rambling, children were excited of Christmas toys and happy with gingerbreads in their hands.

Santa was everywhere, let's say "Hi" to him :-). For kids, he's the center of Christmas, the one with kind smiles and the hope for gifts in Christmas Eve.

There were more than 100 stalls selling Christmas tree decorations, traditional wares, and gifts for all generations. I like that stall number 21, the girl inside looked like a Snow Princess, living in her kingdom with all the cute pets around. The stall brought me a feeling of snowy Vienna where I experienced my first snow-fall in my life.

What colorful decorations! If I had a family here, I would definitely buy those balls and stars to decorate a Christmas tree in my house.

Inside the City Hall, hundreds of tiny hands industriously bake cookies and make Christmas gifts. Under expert guidance, the kids were working as real handicraftsmen. Looking lovable, thosed kids should know that they are very lucky to have such care from families and society.

I really enjoyed this walking in the Christmas Market. Now I feel some Christmas and hope to bring some to you from this post.
