Life in Sweden

No. 18 Christmas market in Stockholm

2000/12/31


In December, Julmarknad (=Christmas market) is held in many places. They mainly sell decorations for Christmas and the new year, but also foods and other things. The streets are also beautifully decorated, and the pleasant season arrives in the winter darkness. Maybe kids are the most delighted in this season.
