Although it’s still one month left, Vienna is ready for Christmas time.
Suddenly Chritmas Markets appeared in many places: near the City Hall, by Museumsquariter, Schoenbrunn, Belveder... The real craze will start in a few days, once the markets are opened. Now the stalls are being decorated and slowly the sings of Unbelievable Things emerge. The work begins early in the morning - a short walk towards the center about 7a.m. will prove it.
The City Hall has been transformed into an advent calendar. 24 windows are covered with purple cloth with the digits 1 to 24 written on it. I wonder if there’s chocolate inside...
The trees around the City Hall are decorated with huge glass balls in shape of snowman, Satna’s stick, seahorses...They’re not lighted yet, but the big show will begin soon. The Christmas Tree near the City Hall already shines. In a blue colour.
The streets are ready, as well. Decorated with Christmas lights and various Christmas-like items. You only have to rise your head. And wait. Because the magic of colours hasn’t started yet... The last preparation, last strokes of brush, last fittings... Great waiting for a shiny city. Another attractively decorated places might be Kohlenmartk, Graben and Mariahilferstrassse. Each steps brings closer to the upcoming Christmas...
I hope that there will be some snow. Even for a few days. Just to wrap the burning city in a soft velvet...
