About Christmas and New Year
Christmas markets began in the German-speaking lands in the late Middle Ages: Dresden's Striezelmarkt was first held in 1434, and Strasbourg's Christkindelsmärik in 1570. Our puzzles visit the markets of Vienna, Strasbourg, Prague, Tallinn, Cologne, Dresden, Frankfurt and Colmar, the Christmas trees of Rockefeller Center in New York, St Peter's Square in the Vatican, the Grand Place in Brussels and the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, the angels of Regent Street in London, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, snowy Hallstatt, Old Quebec and Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, and the New Year fireworks over Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Tip for Christmas puzzles: start with the brightest lights, such as a Christmas tree or a lit carousel, then build the buildings around them, and leave the dark night sky for last.
