Europe
Old World Christmas Traditions: Christmas Markets
With the beginning of December or even mid-way through November, cities around Europe and small begin to set up Christmas Markets in the center of town, a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. They are more popular in Germany and France, though. German immigrants brought this centuries- old tradition to the United States. Today, many large cities like Chicago and New York City as well as smaller places like Helen, GA have their own markets.
