Los Alamos Daily Post

The Christkindlmarkt returns to Los Alamos for a second year. The event is 2-7:30 p.m., Dec. 7 in the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce parking lot at 15th Street and Central Avenue.

Christkindlmarkts are open-air markets where vendors sell everything from arts and crafts to food and beverages. The holiday-themed event originated in Europe but organizer Blair Braden decided Los Alamos, his hometown, would be a good place to introduce the Southwest to this type of holiday shopping.

A Brit Insulted An Asian Woman In Germany
By ELENA YANG

My friend and I laughed at it in hindsight, but at that moment of the insult, my Asian friend was outraged. M was an immigrant to the States decades ago. She became a US citizen, married a European immigrant who’s also a US citizen now. But this is really beside the point.
