2020-12-08 15:44:21 Striezelmarkt - Dresden Christmas Market

As it was expected, due to the #COVID19 pandemic, all major #Christmas #markets will remain closed this year.

Dirk Hilbert. the lord #mayor of #Dresden, explains the reasons for this decision in a press release (in English).

Many enthusiasts, have a collection of unique #Strizelmarkt cups at home. If you want to continue with your collection, or simply want to drink your mulled wine in such glasses, there are still possibilities to keep "the same procedure as every year"!

And among them, the safest way would be to buy your Christmas cup from the producer's online shop.

p.s.
The situation in #Saxony is very critical. The number of deaths in Dresden has been doubled in 7 days! By avoiding unnecessary gatherings, we can save lives.
