In Germany December is the time for Christmas fairs. Every small town hosts one or at least tries to. Some stalls are set up, mostly to sell food and drink. There are also some crafts stalls that sell everything from pottery to candles, Christmas decoration and embroidery. Very important is mulled wine, especially if it is really cold. It warms form the inside and lifts the spirits. German Christmas fairs usually are organized for profit, rarely for charity.
