THE DISMANTLED CHRISTMAS MARKET




Each year, Waterloo city builds a huge tent which hosts the Christmas market and also a place for ice skating.


Christmas market 2011

There are many local artisants who sell their products in various little stalls. And each year I go there to see if I can get a handmade something. This year I completely forgot, because on Sunday we did our Christmas decoration, and also the weather was very bad it rained cats and dogs.

Being an optimist, I thought maybe I still can take some pictures of when they dismantle the whole thing.
Unfortunately I had been too late, the stalls were gone and they had nearly finished with dismantling !








Together with a grey and rainy day it looked rather sad. But I wasn't too disappointed, I had realized already last year, it's always the same, and people told me that I hadn't missed anything as it was even worse then last year. At least I have seen how a Christmas market is dismantled !

But I certainly will not miss the Brussels' Christmas market which is quite famous with its 250 stalls.
