This morning began with me helping set up our booth for Christmas Bazaar organized by the International Women's Club of Tallinn.  After looking at all the other booths, I knew for certain I had to bring the kids back.  Charlie would have loved it, but he had to go to work.  Each embassy set up a booth showcasing crafts, foods, and goods from their country.  We were selling American groceries, baked goods, stocking stuffers, freshly popped popcorn and eggnog.  Once we made it back, it was so crowded!  Zach and Clara were rather uncomfortable and the people quite scrunched together.  We took a tour of all the booths, went to the kids room for a few minutes where Santa was but neither of the kids would approach him, and then decided to leave.

We walked to a nearby mall to pick up an adapter for my camera and then decided to check out the Tallinn Christmas Market held in Old Town.  It was drizzling and cool, but we still enjoyed it.  Although it is open, not everything is complete.  We are supposed to get around 4 inches of snow on Wednesday, and I'd love to check it out after a snow so I'm sure we'll make it down there several times this while it is open.  Of course I left the camera in the car so didn't get any pictures.

Here are two videos from the past, but there were many more vendors and a stage with live entertainment and all.  The first video gives you a pretty good idea of what it is like here in Tallinn.  I'll have to get some video the next time we go.
