November 27 will bring the opening of the silliness that is the Christkindlmarket in Chicago.

For information about the event see this listing

Besides my enthusiasm for candied nuts and Glühwein, the best thing about the Christkindlmarket in Chicago is WATCHING PEOPLE EAT. It is always hilarious. The desperate attempts to fit whole sausauges into mouths, to finish a gigantic stuffed pretzel in 1 minute flat, washing it down with lashings of German Beer or spicy mulled wine. There’s nothing like it.

Here are some photographs from last year’s Christkindlmarket:

I don’t know these people, but I thought they were kinda funny lookin’
