Our third Advent weekend began with Paul dropping SAM off at her class Obernachtung (overnight) then off to help the Rümmingen Kinder Kulture Klub (KKK), kids' club, set up a tent for the Weihnacht Markt (Christmas Market) at the Bruchrainhof. Every year we have a craft tent for the shoppers' children to hang out and make fun Xmas items. This year there was something new and different for the Germans to experience...stringing popcorn. During my Saturday shift I had the chance to teach a couple of girls this new thing. The stringing seemed to be going well when I left. Another craft they offered was dipping or rolling of beeswax candles...quite a favorite of folks over here.
And of course we had a visit from St. Nikolaus.
Our tent...warm but rather smokey!
