I live in Hamburg and was just at our Christmas market this week...drank Glühwein and ate Flammkuchen and watched our Santa on his sled fly over the market.

Horrified at the news of this attack on citizens and very upset that this could happen again.

Praying for all the dead and injured and their families and friends.
