Rund um die 500 Jahre alte Neupfarrkirche und vor den klassizistischen Säulen der Alten Stadtwache reihen sich die Buden und Stände mit dem glitzernden Angebot von Christbaumschmuck, warten Krippen und Schnitzfiguren, Spielzeug und manch praktisches Geschenk auf Käufer.

Explanation:
"warten Krippen...auf Käufer":

Krippen = Stall, Maria, Josef, Jesus, Engel, Hirten, Könige, Schafe, Ochse, Esel und alles, was zur Darstellung der Weihnachtsgeschichte dazugehört (auf englisch: Nativity scene)

Diese Krippen warten auf Käufer, das heißt, sie warten darauf, gekauft zu werden (die Krippen werden hier personifiziert)
=> Die Krippen (und alle anderen genannten Dinge) werden zum Verkauf auf diesem Weihnachtsmarkt ausgestellt
