Country and Christmas fair Haarzuilens

Christmas season is in full swing! I don't know how you feel, but I always get deliriously excited! Especially with all the Christmas fairs this season. This weekend was the mother of all fairs: the Country and Christmas fair at castle the Haar in Haarzuilens. And of course yours truly attended the event, cause really, where else would I be? Not only can you buy the nicest pearls, jewels and clothes at Haarzuilens, but walking the lanes up to the castle is a great opportunity to try cheese, wine and baked goods. In the larger tents you can find old antiques, art and buy home decorations (I bought two Kelim pillows!). And once it gets chilly outside you can warm your hands at a nice cup of hot Dutch pea soup (erwtensoep for you Duchties!) or enjoy a glass of steaming glühwein. Not as Dutch as the soup but equally as heart warming!
But the best treat has to be the scenery, the beautiful castle adorned with light, and the Christmas music blasting from the speakers. Stay until it starts to get dark and the light are even more charming! It's truly the best way to get into the Christmas spirit and buy present or just get some fresh inspiration!

With love

There even was a Dickens style choir singing Christmas carols!






My folks! Aren't they sweet?
