Bringing in the Season

Today we rang in the Christmas season by walking down to the German Christmas Market. I suppose that we really did this the the Christmas lighting display, but for us it really feels like the Christmas Season with Thanksgiving behind us. I have no idea why its called the 'German Christmas Market' since there were booths from all over the world, including Scotland, China, Russia, and Africa, but all the foods were primarly German. All the booths were amazing, and some were even in our price range, including handmade Hungarian Lace, decorations, purses, bags, etc. So, we will be returning for some Christmas shopping later on.
Then we walked around the city looking for a Christmas tree. We thankfully found a 'value' Christmas tree in Woolworths. Its only 2 1/5'' tall, but for the tree, lights, and ornaments it cost us less than $10. We have come to love Woolworths and wish there was one back home.
