Christmas Atmosphere Abundant In Berlin
BERLIN, GERMANY – NOVEMBER 28: An illuminated ferris wheel at the Christmas market at Alexanderplatz is reflected in the rear windshield of a parked car as the city’s television tower stands behind at dusk on November 29, 2011 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin is in the midst of full Christmas season with Christmas markets, Christmas lights and of course Christmas shopping. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
