Another Festive Weekend

As I’m typing this, I’m sitting on a bench in downtown Mesa, Arizona.  There’s plenty of stuff going on down here.  My church had their winter festival that just ended, the Mesa Arts Center is having their weekly arts and craft marketplace along Main St., and Macdonald St. is partially closed for the Christkindlmarkt.  I think it’s suppose to be a German Christmas marketplace.  Whatever, there’s tons of booths, food and free entertainment going on until 9pm. 

I think the best part of all these festivals and bazaars happening this time of year is the festive atmosphere.  There’s the holidays crafts being sold, the roasted chestnuts and other seasonal food, and the decorations.

See, booths aren’t as carefully decorated the rest of the year.  Maybe they should be.  Just a thought. 

Well, I’m done for the day.  I need to rest up for next week.  The MAC it having another festival.  Maybe by the end of the season I’ll be sick of them.  Could be worse.
