If you have the good fortune to be in the Alsace region of France this month (lucky you!), remember that the Colmar Christmas markets are open through December 31st. The rest of us, who may be feeling a bit burned out from last-minute holiday shopping and the crowds at the local mall, can tune in Monday, December 29th for a refreshing change of scenery.
 
Kim Mance, mom of three and editor of Galavanting, will broadcast live from the holiday markets at Colmar, France, where she is shooting the next episode of Galavanting TV to air in January. Get a sneak peek at some of her favorite sights and sounds in the charming wine capital of Alsace. At the end of the broadcast, Kim will give viewers a chance to win $25 in free custom postcards from Hazel Mail.
