This is it. You only have a few days to enjoy the authentic Gluhwein, snap a photo with an Angel, or find a handcrafted German gift at second annual Arlington Christkindl Market in 2012 near Rangers Ballpark. Don't forget about the great German food.

This year's market closes Saturday, December 15 at 9 p.m.

Christkindl markets are a holiday tradition in Germany and in recent years have become more popular in the U.S. Shoppers can visit the dozens of charming outdoor shops for holiday gifts, from German chocolate and nutcrackers to sweaters and pottery.
