I had hoped to bring you pictures and tales of the First Annual Baltimore Christmas Market this evening. But the truth is, aside from the 70 degree temperatures on the first day of winter(!!), it really wasn't that memorable. I had originally heard about it online, and from the website gallery, it looked quite big. But when we arrived, there were only a few small stalls. To get into the larger tent area where the food was, you had to pay $5 per person, so we did, thinking there was much more excitement to be had inside. Alas, we were wrong again.
There were lots of German nutcrackers, collectibles and ornaments, and judging by the prices, I can only assume they were imported directly from Germany. But I only saw 2 stands with actual food (waffles and bratwurst) and that was it. I think it took us longer to walk from our car to the area on Light Street where the festival is being held than we spent browsing. Oh well, it was worth a shot!
So, since we had time, we grabbed a yummy dinner in Little Italy, followed by a hellish evening in Target (NEVER go to Target the Saturday before Christmas - it's a nightmare!), then ice cream at Cold Stone (no dark chocolate peppermint this year - unacceptable!) and then some Reduced Shakespeare Company (don't judge). Not the Christmas-y evening I had in mind, but nice nonetheless!
