"Pink Christmas originated from an idea in the gay scene. The pink
pleasure combines the needs of this specific audience with the traditional
values of a Christmas market." (Official website „Pink Christmas, FAQ, English“)
Also known as Christkindlmarkt (literally: Christ Child Market, but the term "Christkind" usually refers to an angel-like "spirit of Christmas" rather than literally the Christ Child), Christkindlesmarkt, Christkindlimarkt, and Weihnachtsmarkt (German:[ˈvaɪ̯naxt͡sˌmaʁkt]ⓘ)
