Many European cities celebrate Christmas extravagantly with miniature/copycat German Christmas Markets, and Cardiff is no exception. The city is full of lights and little booths selling all types of homemade crafts and food. Since Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday here, there also isn’t the unspoken rule of waiting until after Thanksgiving to start celebrating. So Cardiff’s Christmas Market is in full swing. We weren’t expecting it when we came to the city centre for dinner, but were pleasantly surprised. The city is beautiful anyways, but adding in the twinkling lights and the smell of sweet roasted cashews, you fall in love with the city all over again.
