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?

    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. :-)

    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.
