There's no place like the Vancouver Christmas Market during the holidays.
From the delectable German food (expandable pants are a must-wear!) to the seemingly endless stalls filled with toys and gifts, it has all the best aspects of the holiday season wrapped into one square space.
I recently ate my way through the annual market (diet, what diet?) -- located outside the Queen Elizabeth Theatre until Tuesday, Dec. 24 -- and happily snapped a few photos of my Christmas-inspired adventure. Take a look.
