November is over and done with and probably not missed by a whole lot of people! The darkness and wetness associated with that month is just not a whole lot of fun! Now though Christmas is approaching and it seems everyone is more positive (me included…which I am sure most people around me appreciate! ;-) ).

To kick off the holiday season for me I went to Malmö and the old medieval Castle there for the Christmas market. I wasn’t exactly impressed by the local variety a few days earlier in the little suburbia town that I live in, but this was a much bigger affair with foods, crafts, music and many kinds of wares on sale for people. And I got to people watch…and people photograph as well, which was a great experience! Even though it was quite crowded I didn’t feel that “ick, so many people!” feeling that I’ve had from time to time in the aftermath of the pandemic. I’d call that progress!
