A Christmas Fair!

Hello, Everybody!

If you thought we had croaked, this is to let you know that we are still alive and kicking! We really haven't done anything too exciting until this weekend. It was time for the annual Junior League of El Paso's Christmas Fair. The theme this year was Noel a Paris. These are our admission tickets. They were given to us by a dear sweet lady from Polk who is in the Junior League. Notice that our tickets no longer say, "Adult."

The Eiffel Tower greeted us upon arrival. There were several other Towers in the Hall. We arrived at 10:00 AM. By 11:00, Ellen had to make the first trip back to the car to put our purchases in the trunk. That gave Sharon a few minutes to sit and rest until Ellen returned. Then we were at it again! By a little after noon, it was time for trip TWO to the car!

This time Sharon went along. We had packed a "picnic lunch" and we were both getting a little hungry and were more than ready to sit for a little bit. Our picnic was eaten in the car. We enjoyed watching all the people who were coming and going! After that little respite, back we went to finish up the aisles we hadn't seen.

These were just two of the Christmas trees that had been decorated. It's always fun to see all the different ideas.

This year there were over two hundred vendors! The aisles were smaller because they had to pack that many booths into the Hall; however, we were able to see all of them. Some we just walked by because we had no interest in what they were selling. Others, we spent time looking and enjoying all the beautiful items.

Christmas shopping is now in full swing! What a wonderful time of the year!!

Until next time . . . . . . . .

PS As if we hadn't done enough shopping, on the way home, we stopped at Pier One to see all of their Christmas items.
