Chicago Christkindlmarket 2017

I hope that you don't get tired of me sharing the Chicago Christkindlmarket year after year...

I just can't help myself ;) It's so "Christmas" to me.

Time flies by and Christmas is just days away...

So much to do at work and at home.

But these photos bring me peace and happiness

and remind me of  memories created here year after year...

So many sweet treats throughout the market.

And even more confections in the Sweet Castle.

Not quite as warm as when I visited last year, but still a lovely evening.

Treasures to be cherished.

A sweet woodland scene.

Ornaments of natural materials.

Traditional ornaments of straw and wood.

More wooden treasures

My eyes don't know where to look first.

Each and every one so sweet.

A magical booth of candle holders.

Do you see the two giant candleholders up in the eave?

Each so different and each so pretty.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

~Luke 2:4-7
