We read and understand that each year a town could have to contribute a christmas tree to the town hall. I decided to stand underneath the hugh tree to enjoy the lights and view of branches of the tree. It was beautiful and my wife joked that many people followed us in enjoying the view after we moved off from the spot. I like the tree a lot and in fact I have been watching live webcam of Marienplatz and the tree before we travelled to Munich. I even wanted to ask my family to catch a glimpse of my wife and me walking at Marienplatz if possible though time difference was a real challenge ~ while we were playing at Marienplatz, they were probably sleeping at night. 
The morning Marienplatz market was filled with nice spicy smell of the red wine and also sausages and cookies. While my wife was busy looking for boots, I took some time out to watch what people were buying at the stalls. I was a bit hesitant to buy any cookies as we had our hearty cheese and ham breakfast and too full to "chew". Also my wife said she loved my homemade cookies most so I have second thoughts buying other cookies nowadays =). 
The night time markets are equally interesting as the crowd built up. Against the backdrop of lights and toy angels hanging up at the stalls, we were easily immersed into the beautiful atmosphere of Christmas. Very tempted to buy some cute decoration from the stalls but they were not cheap. Another reason was we usually dun like to "anyhow" buy things as we would have difficulty finding place to put them or store them. I rem buying the "russian girl" keychains and ended up forcing my wife's friends to take - compulsory haha. 很喜欢圣诞市场，觉得它很特别，很有节日气氛，和看过的其他市场很不一样，我很佩服老婆的好介绍。以前的我，只以为外国的圣诞就只是白色的圣诞，只有下雪，玩雪人。圣诞市场其实已有多年的历史，也是当地不可少的圣诞文化。
圣诞快乐。
