This is a 26 foot German Christmas Pyramid, or “Weihnachtspyramide”.Fredericksburg is a cute small city in the Hill Country of Texas, For the Christmas season, every night at 6 PM they have their tree lighting ceremony in the historic Marketplatz. The loud speakers play Christmas carols, then a narrator tells of the history of Christmas in Fredericksburg, and then the countdown to the tree lighting, where all the trees lights are turned on to cheers from the crowd. The Marketplatz crowd was actually pretty large and enthusiastic. (I took this picture hours later so not many people were there by then).Fredericksburg’s Main Street lighted for Christmas.
