    Your vlog made me so homesick. I used to live in both The Netherlands and Germany and love these countries. Definitely home for me. I love the Weinachtsmarkten like you went to in Hamburg. I love the authenticity of German Christmas decorations, food etc Mostly handmade and high quality. Zaanse Schans ( Zarnsa Skanska) is also so very beautiful. Looking forward to your next vlog!

    I did a winter semester in Germany and that was the best Christmas I’ve ever had. I made it a point to go out everyday to visit all the Christmas markets in Munich before it was time for me to head back home. I walked around the markets alone sometimes, with a Starbucks christmas-specials frappuccino because I got tired of hot drinks 😂 I watched this today just to relive the wonderful moments, though I can’t smell the spices, the sounds and the ambience were very well captured here. Thank you so much for this video, I greatly needed this. Merry Christmas to you guys and your family ❤️🎄

    Watching this as a german in november 2020 knowing that there will be no christmas markets this year because of covid makes me feel kind of nostalgic. This will be the first year of my life without a christmas market so to see all of it in your video makes me so so happy. Anyways - already excited for the season being cozy at home and baking cookies. 🌲☃️

    Also I love to see your excitment for every single place you visit! That's what makes your videos so uplifting!
    Keep going and merry Christmas to you!🎅

    If you come back next time, try the Christmas markets in middle Germany like Quedlinburg, Wernigerode, Nürnberg, or over to Saxony Annerberg-Buchholz and a lot of others. They’re way more magical, because of the beautiful cities around them. I‘m living in Berlin and we do every year in December a shorttrip to explore those beautiful cities and they’re markets.
    It’s always so nice to see you both coming back to us 😘.

I just love your videos.
    Next Christmas you should visit this little town in south Germany called Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is just like in a fairytale.
    Good luck in your life ! Hugs from a romanian living in Germany !
