Christmas Market: Haworth

Our local Christmas market is a modest affair: stalls ranged along a stretch of Main Street; a craft fair in the Old School Rooms; shopkeepers in period costume; a local choir singing carols; mulled wine and buskers.

Despite its small scale, it’s a great place to pick up presents; and enough people turned out to create a jolly atmosphere.

Even the rain held off till the end of the day.  In the spirit of the season.

P.S.  Today I’m taking part in Mosaic Monday, hosted by Mary at Little Red House.  Why not pop on over and take a look at some of the other lovely mosaics you’ll find links to there?

Pleased the rain held off for you. Looked quite busy by the pictures and sounds you had a good time. I am off to York Christmas Market next week. Hope the weather is better than the one I went to in Einburgh a few years ago. It would have been magical had we been able to see the stalls but all we saw was umbrellas and water cascading down from the stalls. The atmosphere was till great

It looks absolutely beautiful there! I'm still somewhat in disbelief that the holiday season is upon us already!

You've really shared the atmosphere with us. I love to hear of local communities putting on shows like this and keeping traditions alive.
