So the first week of December is over, bringing us THAT much closer to Christmas.
And still, I have my Halloween pumpkin at the doorstep. To update, it is still Orange and recognizably a pumpkin--but it's probably losing a lot of it's resale value by the hour. Still no takers on Craigslist...
Despite the quickly rotting pumpkin outside my door, I am actually a pretty festive holiday person. From the reruns of the Home Alone and a Charlie Brown Christmas to the sounds of Mariah Carey's Christmas covers--it's a fun time of the year.
To prove that I'm actually in season, I brought A with me to visit the Vancouver Christmas Market today. Some highlights:
That's a big...bratwurst. I put a $1 coin on the side for comparison. I had to be creative in eating it though--but I made sure A deleted the pictures lest they end up on a fetish website someday.
But wait! They did put in a German sign. I never got to that chapter in my Learn German booklet, but I bet it stands for something very typically German. Possibly translated as, "queue up properly," or "telling jokes allowed in this area only."
We did choose one of the coldest days in Vancouver to hit up the market. The hot fruit punch and hot apple cider helped to warm us up. And as we headed back on the skytrain, despite our runny noses and chilly toes, we both agreed that it was a great time.
