We scoured all the jewelry stands until her eyes settled on a unique design that neither of us have ever seen. She bought a pair and I bought a 2nd pair the following weekend to wrap up for her for Christmas present. She was excited, to say the least. This weekend closes the 2022 market on Sunday Dec. 18th and I&#8217;ll be there to absorb as much as I can!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Did you know what Christkindl is?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A Christmas decoration in the shape of infant Jesus and can be found at a Christmas Market.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsquest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.artsquest.org\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos by: Kimberly Kanuck Article by: Joe Scrizzi There&#8217;s many things to look\u00a0forward to every month.
