I'm so grateful in this year of staying home that a couple of years ago I got to do one of my long-time travel goals, Christmas markets in Europe. (Christmas is a very underrated time of year to travel. Fascinating stuff to see and experience, even in places like Hong Kong and Singapore, which wouldn't seem very Christmas-y on first thought.) Here's a video of Strasbourg and two other Alsatian cities. Strasbourg in particular makes a big deal of its markets, and, yes, that's plural. The year I was there, there were seven different ones, all in walking distance of the city center. Of course, there's a map available for first-timers the way I was.
No markets this year, of course. But still worth thinking about. (Lots of umbrellas in this, but that's not the usual weather, if that's a question.)
