My final post showing the journey of my weekend in York brings us nicely to the festive season.
The National Trust shop was stocked up with it’s Christmas goods. I made one small purchase… Keep Calm at Christmas 
People act really weird at Christmas time! What other time of year do you sit in front of a dead tree in the living room and eat nuts and sweets out of your socks?

Ha ha! I thought you went to Betty’s to stock up on some cakes?
I just stocked up on some Christmas cheer
When York is mention I think of New York City..
Coffee is on.
People from the US usually do because it is more familiar to them
Thank you for your magnificent presentation of York, Cherie. Warm wishes to you and yours for Christmas and the New Year. All the best, always. With all my heart!
Thank you so much Claude
All my best wishes to you and yours too. *hugs*
Too funny, Cherie!! Have a lovely Holiday Season and a New Year filled with peace, joy, and blessings. Mickie:)
It made me chuckle
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season too 
LOL, Cherry, about the quote. So true. So true! I love the festive gift-ship window!
Thanks Ginnie
The quote certainly makes us think differently about the things we do!
I’m sorry to say good-bye to York..and especially to the Minster. And – I just love the quote….it made me laugh!!!
I was sorry to leave York too, but I do have plans to visit another cathedral in another city next year. Finances permitting….
Funny quote!
Have a merry christmas and a happy new year!
And a merry Christmas to you and yours
I so enjoy your photos of York and others too
laughable quote
Have a great Christmas whatever you do.
Thanks Claire, I love reading your poetry
I hope you have a good Christmas too.
Your photographs have brought back some happy memories of York, CP.
Thank you.
Love the fun Christmas quote you’ve added. This one always makes me smile too – by
Benny Hill:
Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
If it weren’t for Christmas
We’d all be Jewish.
All the best to you and yours for Christmas and New Year.
I am glad you enjoyed the photos and the memories. I really enjoyed my visit
I love that quote too
I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year.
Great series. It always has been a popular and frequent destination for me over many years. Having said that, I’ve no idea where this image is taken. People do some funny things at Christmas, it’s unusual how traditions evolve over the years even in specific households.
I am glad you enjoyed the series
This image is taken very close to York Minster.
