We are headed to Munich for Thanksgiving as that's when our kids have the same break in college. Will there be Christmas Markets in Munich and Nuremberg by the last week of November? Any other ideas for early winter activities?

Nuremberg's Christmas market opens Nov 29. Nuremberg's market is crazy packed on weekend nights... like miserably, "I can't move" packed. It's not so bad during the day.
The Marienplatz Christmas market in Munich opens Nov 27. Munich has other markets, too. I haven't been in Munich for Christmas markets, so I can't tell you what they are like. Most city markets, though, are pretty packed on their first weekend.

While Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Italy, we saw many “Black Friday” sale signs in store windows, for the Friday after Thanksgiving. And the Tempory Ice skating rink opened, yes, you guessed it, the Friday after thanksgiving. The Christmas celebration in Italy goes until January 6.
