December is a very special month in Europe. It is in December that medieval streets and squares are being prepared for the upcoming holiday, Christmas, as well as the famous Christmas markets open their doors in Europe. Coloured lights are hung everywhere, there are decorated trees and buildings, and the residents of different cities prepare Christmas treats. The general atmosphere is like a good old fairy tale, which is very easy to participate in our days.
One of the Christmas traditions is Christmas Fairs in Europe which are almost everywhere in December.
The first Christmas markets in Europe date back to around 11-12 century. Of course, for such a long time, Europeans have learned how to make an impression on visitors. Bazaars are undoubtedly an integral part of the Christmas spirit and they create a festive mood for all attendants.
Every year each country of the Old World tries to outdo its neighbours, luring the tourists with lots of Christmas events, but the main attraction is the Fair. In its turn, each city and each village are trying to show off, so a few weeks before December 25, the Christmas spirit saturates the whole of Europe.
