It is really amazing to pop by and stand in front of the windows display at Marienplatz. The display outsides what is known as the Galeria Kaufhof (Food and grocery chain, we think) is really cute and fun. About a few nights, we chanced by the display and the cute teddy bears, rabbits, monkeys - some opening doors, some doing farming, some teasing one another and some just playing with snow. Coupled with the nice German christmas songs, the series of display really made us transform into kids again.
It really touches us how meticulous the designers and even the locals are to decorate the windows display. Compared back home, we have seen some "recycled" display.
We are trying hard to trace the title of the songs that we heard so far. It fitted so well to the movement of the soft toys in the display. Almost every night since we discovered the place, we would walk past and listen to the music and watch each display. One particular one that caught our attention was two cute rabbits - Big and small one playing with their noses in left to right movement. Cute! The other one was a monkey or bear that could open and close the door of a house. Cute!
Actually, we first spotted such display was at the Residence Christmas Market. Those display however were "traditional" and each with a story. I didn't however imagine that there could be more such display in Marienplatz. Not sure about my wife but I have the magical feel and a childlike Christmas. It has been a long time since I feel like a kid already. Like a kid, we watched with eagerness at every display, waiting eagerly for the start of the music. Like a child, we sang with the tune and my wife clapping with rhythm. We so loved the Munich Christmas.
