Excelsior ChristKindslMarkt

A snowless ChristKindelsMarket in Excelsior. I wandered around the booths filled with Holiday gifts, jellies and jams, bell ringers and some animals that looked vaguely familiar. It was cold enough, and the lovely Peruvian woman was so bundled that only her eyes were visible.
I know I was late to the part, with parades and other festivities on Friday and Saturday. But them the breaks. The "belle" bell ringers clanged out some tunes and I was invited to warm myself by the fire pit. I noticed that the Boy Scouts wisely had a fire extinguisher nearby. Always be prepared.
