We had a pink Christmas tree one year when I was a kid! And a turquoise one too!

Oh, that looks like it'd be so much fun to go to!
@officerripley - I've been a couple of times (pre-Covid). It's a German-style market with individual outdoor stalls. I purchased gingerbread, which was delicious. It was a very cold night, but, as I said .. just across from daughter's place.Oh, that looks like it'd be so much fun to go to!

Oh I'd love to go to something like this. We haven't had the holiday craft fair in our county in a few years. They had it this year kind of as an "alternative" craft fair and it was crap. I went and bought one pottery item from a nice lady. I wouldn't go again. I'd love to go to a traditional craft or artist fair.
@Remy .. In general, the place has shops with unusual (and over-priced) wares. Also, it has shops that make chocolates, craft beer, etc. The Christmas Market prices are high, but people seem to love it. The gingerbread I bought was over-priced, in my opinion, but probably justified. I'm sure the rental costs of the kiosks is probably rather high.

I do believe those booth prices for holiday fairs are not cheap. And when I go I'm usually in the mood to buy so I spend a little. I miss the lady who made the most pretty origami items. I think I only noted two sellers from the old traditional craft fair but apparently they had lost their sponsor, so this mess of a one took over.
The craft fair used to take up two buildings at the fair grounds but had dwindled to one. Perhaps just not as popular with places like Etsy. But it's nice to see the items in person and to browse.
