[Stargate] Fwd: [Gatesedge] German Christmas Market “Weihnachtsmarkt Texas Style”

[Monalee R Kendall]

Hey,

This came across the Gate's Edge list and since we were talking of social
things to do together, I thought this sounded like fun.

If anyone wants to go as a group, we could me at my house in Spring.

Just let me know,

Genevieve
