Have a merry little Christmas. Christmas Day
For more than 400 years, the French city of Strasbourg has transformed into a Christmas wonderland in December, featuring displays such as this festive miniature village. Craftsmen and merchants sell their handmade ornaments and other gifts at Strasbourg's famous Christmas market. And there are plenty of satisfied customers, over two million visitors flock to the city every year to take in the sights and sounds. An immense Christmas tree is put up and decorated in Place Kléber, the central square, and the scents, songs and twinkling lights of Christmas fill the city. It's no wonder that Strasbourg proudly calls itself the Capital of Christmas.
