I finally made it to the annual
Christkindlmarkt in Bethleham, Pa., a crafts festival based on German
traditions. Not only did I get a lot of Christmas shopping done, but I also
found some Christmas goodies for myself, including this nice glass penguin from
my old friend Käthe Wohlfahrt, the big Christmas shop empire from Germany. The
ornament has her trademark shooting star emblem attached at the top. You can
see some of the treasures I found on a visit a couple of years ago by clicking here.
You have to go through a few posts to see them all. And stay tuned for more
from Bethlehem’s Christkindlmarkt in the next few posts.
