How Frankfurt Celebrates Christmas Eve, Pealing of the Bells & Carols on the Römerberg
Turn up the volume for the Pealing of the Bells. This is 50 bells in 10 churches, ringing for 30 min. Then a brass band plays German Christmas carols from the gallery of the Alte Nikolai.
Not sure how many people were downtown, but it felt like 100,000 or more. They have to stop the trams it is so packed. Many people bring their own thermos of Glühwein or cocoa, but there were a few stands selling it, as well as pretzels.
The Christmas market is gone, but I added this video to the playlist for Christmas markets since it is an integral part of the celebration here.
If you want to hear all 30 minutes of the pealing of the bells, there is an extra video of that from last year on the 1st Advent.

Wondering what to eat at the Christmas Markets and what does it all cost? Many markets may have the same foods, but there may be some differences as well as different prices.

What is the reason for not being able to photograph the old 97th hospital. I know it's the US consulate now but I guess I don't understand. Probably a security issue.

      I just had a nerve stimulator impant placed in my lower left inner leg. Evenings before I go to bed, I place a holster like wrap around my lower left leg. The holster has two pockets. One of the pockets houses a transmitter and the other an antenna. The transmitter and the antenna are connected with an electric cable. The transmitter has a setting of 1 to 24. My setting is 12. I sleep with it over night and take it off the next morning. Now the mircle happens. I take it off and I am good for the entire day. I have two holsters, 2 transmitters (one I keep charged) and three antennas. Something to consider in-lieu-of total knee replacement if and when you get to that point.
