I think I mentioned in my previous post how I’ve never gotten very excited about Christmas in July. It seems odd to me to celebrate a holiday apart from the actual holiday, to completely remove the meaning and occasion and turn it into shallow fun. And yet, I’ve also always jumped at any opportunity to celebrate something. Special meal? Count me in. Cake? I’m there. Decorations? Absolutely.
So, a Christmas in July Evening Market? Why not! I’ve been happily crocheting little Christmas trees and mini stockings, and I even have colored lights set out to bring for display. This fun popup market happens today from 6pm until 8pm, at the Broadway Community Market. Vendors will have regular offerings as well as festive items, including special food! Jillian’s Farmstead Kitchen is offering a choice of turkey or roast beef platters, and Wiches and Brew will have sandwiches and holiday-themed lattes and cocoa.
I will be set up with the aforementioned crocheted Christmas trees and stockings, as well as other giftable crocheted items and fresh produce: tomatoes, beans, garlic, cucumbers, yellow squash, and chocolate bell peppers. If you can’t make it out to the market this evening, I will also have all of these things at the regular market on Saturday morning!
See you at the market!
