We didn't have a real history of Christmas markets in the Netherlands but in recent years there are various places where commerce has found a new target audience. This market is at the Rembrandt square in Amsterdam with some stalls where you can buy and eat some Christmas related items.
A warm wool hat we don't need at the moment with unusual temperatures of 14 C (57.2 F).
Rembrandt is pensive looking down what is going on at his square.
As his "Nightwatch" figures are entertaining the tourists.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana Natalícia.
This winter is has been much more enjoyable for outdoor events like this.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe markets add to the festive season eventhough the weather is more like Spring temperatures.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWonderful images of the market and the statues are awesome.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMerry Christmas to you and your family. I wish you all the best in the New Year.
Such great statuary. Here in the states Christmas is way over commercialized. The meaning is almost lost.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPara si e sua família desejo um Natal de Luz! Abençoado e repleto de alegrias.

What a pleasure to visit an outdoor market during a relatively warm period.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNow I really like your last shot. It took me a minute to see what was going on.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenRembrandt doesn't look as if he is feeling very festive. He needs a Santa hat or something!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe market there looks very nice.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBelieve or not, I have not been at any Christmas market this year ....
A lease I don't see an Wal Mart or a big box store. Which I try to avoid.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenCoffee is on
Ik dacht eerst dat het living statues waren maar dat kan niet met de hond erbij.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt appears the Christmas eats are getting the bulk of the business. Sounds good to me.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe Nightwatch are a photographer's dream!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat looks quite interesting and yes, cultures are kind of blending in.
Even here in Dublin, Georgia we had our first Christkindlmarket...
Hugs,
