Wow!! Now that’s a Christmas market! Wish I was going! 🇭🇺

📍Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺

The festive Christmas market at St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest, Hungary, known as the Advent Basilica market. This market has been recognized multiple times as the best Christmas market in Europe.

The market is set against the backdrop of the illuminated St. Stephen's Basilica. It features numerous rustic wooden stalls offering handcrafted gifts and traditional Hungarian foods like mulled w**e and chimney cake. Highlights include a large Christmas tree, an ice-skating rink, and 3D light projections on the basilica's façade.

Important information!

A study by researchers at the University of Southern California shows that exposure to music and music instruction accelerates the brain development of young children.

Extra special as I hosted the recital, and was the one placing the medals around their necks.

So very proud of them both.

Did you know that Queen Elizabeth 2 played the piano?

Like a lot of children, she started piano lessons at the age of 11 while she was living in Windsor Castle.

I would imagine Her Majesty has had little time to practice though I would still have loved to be her piano teacher!

Her 70 year reign as Queen ended recently with her sudden passing! She was a light to the world and will be forever remembered and missed!

The following post link is a great read on her lifelong passion for music and the arts.
