Description
A real pretzel on a Christmas tree I captured at Christmas market in Strasbourg, France.
It was in Strasbourg in 1570 that the very first edition of the oldest Christmas market in Europe took place, then called the "Christkindelsmarik" (market of the Infant Jesus).
Since this time, Strasbourg has continued the tradition of Alsatian Christmas and these are all the reasons why "Strasbourg, (is) the Capital of Christmas".
Second place in the "European Holiday Images" contest hosted by Dan LeClair 11/01/2020.

Thx for sharing your photo in the Christmas in July contest. I just voted as best on p20. The pretzel makes the Euro connection, as well as evoking a NY Christmas enjoying a pretzel... So many things your image conveys as well as the braided bread and symbolic heart. GJ glorijean, Contest Host
