BERLIN (Reuters) - Germans appear determined to enjoy their traditional outdoor Christmas markets this year even after the bloody militant attacks on Paris that have raised fears for public security all over western Europe.

"One surely is scared. After all, you can't rule out that something might also happen here," said Doris Kirsch, a pensioner visiting the Christmas market in Dortmund at the weekend. "But life goes on and we should keep our chins up."
