It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

It's Christmas time in Belfast. Saturday we went downtown with the McBrides to check out the St. George Market.
Not sure I will eat gammon again soon......

There were foods from all over the world.


Fun booths, fun treasures and lots of people.



Downtown Belfast.




Great shopping mall. The Christmas decorations were up and the Salvation Army was playing carols. Shoppers everywhere and children lined up at Santa's Grotto.....





View of Belfast from the top of Victoria Square.






Belfast.....







Bittles Bar.....such a great building!








Christmas market at city hall.



At home we decided to get into the Christmas spirit.





Our wee tree with our woolen stockings......










It's a nice wee tree.....











Our wee Irish Santa.........












The Nativity that we purchased in England........













A special treasure. When we left Portadown, our FHE family presented us with this beautiful Tipperary crystal bowl. We love it, especially because it came from such wonderful friends.
I think we're ready for Christmas!!!!!!

All you need is a little more snow--we've got plenty here. It would be so fun to experience the christmas traditions of other countries around the world. It seems like every place does something a little different.
