Gosh, am trying my best to adapt to West coast time, so will post these pics before turning in. Will be interesting to have the chance to compare how they celebrate the holidays in California with how things are here at home.
There's a Christmas market in town that's so popular, they've even started to charge admission. So it's always very busy, but quite lovely - they have a big decorated tree set up, and there's carolers, and bonfires, with vendors selling small gifts and ornaments ...
Business was very brisk at the hot beverage stand, where they had special holiday-themed drinks like mulled wine and cider ...
Was surprised to see people dining alfresco in -4C weather! Those chandeliers are actually heat lamps, and that's a condo in the top right-hand corner!
And there were indoor shops as well - there's a small business that's been around for years, that sells all sorts of gourmet condiments like marinades and chutneys. And this year they up a pop-up store to sell prepared foods like hot sandwiches that feature their products?
This is about the only interesting thing happening in my city at this time of the year - so it was like the entire city was there all at the same time
Looks like litecoin's still $308.80 - gosh, will maybe take a chance and see if am able to get it tomorrow for a little cheaper? Have that sinking feeling though, that will wake up and see it all the way up at $324
