Oh my what big antlers, one or two too many and you could swear he was talking. Ha Ha.

[rowanwitch]

thats the trouble its really weird he's animatronic so he does talk and his mouth moves and after a few mulled wines it's most disconcerting

[sophie_1003]

Was he there this year; we didn't see him?

[rowanwitch]

he was up at the top by the council house

[sophie_1003]

Oh we went up there as well; it was v crowded though so we were probably concentrating on not getting squished!

[cazzz1975]

I struggle to find things to buy there :/

[rowanwitch]

I love it when he goes haven't you heard a talking rine deer before and people answer him..

[rowanwitch]

meat, sausages, chocolate bananas have has a daft hat or two in the past mostly its just beer and munchies and enjoying the atmosphere buy your stollen from aldi its nicer and 1/3 the price

There are lots of wonderful Christmas markets here in Germany, but if you're looking for a bargain, you don't buy it on a market! I went to one yesterday and drank Glühwien and ate some lovely food - all overpriced - but one goes to these things for the atmosphere. We baked our own Stollen a couple of weeks ago. Yummy!!

They are selling Moose steaks in Lidl's at the moment.

Don't tell Rudolf!

[ummmm]

McFluff bought me some roasted chestnuts :-)

I did have a bite of Gingers sausage...it was nicer than I thought..

And as dirty as that sounds...it's a fact!!!
