Okay we have an update on my location – once Again Centennial Hall – booth space 115 – same location as last year – when you walk in – facing the room I’ll be on your right side up front – about two rows from the wall – the right wall if you are facing the vendors… hope that’s clear 🙂 See you on October 26th at Marist —
     Okay, perhaps this image isn’t the Marist Holiday Traditions show but is an example of what you may feel at Holiday Traditions this year. The joy of the holiday to come; the feeling that all’s right with the world and an endless array of crafts from some of the finest crafters I only seem to see here in Atlanta each year.
Most of us don’t have the option of going to a Christmas Market in Europe. The photo is of Mannheim’s market. Not bad. But not Marist Holiday Traditions and there you will only find American Crafter’s at their best.
Please join me once again this year on October 26th for the best of times and arts and crafts that you will find this side of the Mississippi.
I don’t know my spot yet here at this magnificent event however will post same as soon as the packets with the info arrives. I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy this show.
Arrival at the boat you are still encumbered with all the grown-up problems of the world on your shoulders, then suddenly you feel alive again seeing the awe-struck sights of Europe – your first Christmas Market in a place like Speyer – you walk off the boat to a world that transports you to childhood, senses exploding with sights and smells of Christmas experienced in youthful bliss…candy, and candles, decorations not seen since youth and suddenly you do believe and know Santa does exist. Walking back on the boat you are transformed into that child once more, if for only a little while you know all is right with the world and you have been given a magical free pass back to your youth.
No I have not yet had the privilege of a River Cruise, but have experienced the Christmas Markets… keeps the Spirit of Christmas alive within you like a soft glowing ember that refuses to burn out.
