This is a bit special. The Christmas market at Stortorget. The most famous market in Stockholm, in the old town. It dates back to 1837, but there has been other markets here for something like seven hundred years! The big square is filled with forty or so red booth where you can buy hot chocolate, mulled wine, waffles and coffee, hot dogs, and of course julmumma. You could try the tombola and maybe win some chocolate. On my visit last Thursday the square was filled with international tourists, school classes and a bunch of locals. If you want to see more photos, I put 27 photos in a flickr album called Stortorgets julmarknad, which is the official name. Oh, and if you would like to see the market from above have a look at the photo at the official web site.

All in lockdown here.
Our Christmas market is soon to finish. I went several times, including last night.
Look at all those angels! This looks like a perfect Christmas Market.
The Christmas Market here is cancelled for the second year in a row.
I would love that first booth. I think it has been quiet at the markets here as everyone is nervous again about Covid.
I wonder if the woman in the first photo is a shopper or an owner. It doesn't matter, because her presence makes it an exceptional photo. And I did look up julmumma....cheers!
The angels in the top photo are so pretty.
Love these shots!
