    Talking Celtic Christmas at the Renfaire

    Well, 11/27-29 is the last weekend of the Texas Renaissance Festival And the closing weekend theme is 'Celtic Christmas'. They open on Friday as well, so instead of dealing with the 'Black Friday' shopping madness, we went on Friday since the crowds would be smaller. But of course this was the largest ever Friday attendance, almost 38,000, biggest single day this year!

    I got a few snaps early, but gave up and left a bit early when it got so crowded....


    Here's a look at my 'super festive' red & green outfit, feel free to use this on greeting cards for friends you don't like!



    a couple with my lovely wife Shelley and our friend Sandy 'The Snow Queen'





    My favorite barbarian Vandala takes a break from pillaging to pose with me,

    but she has no time for vampire girls....

    It certainly looks different and interesting - I must make a point of going round one of these Ren fairs and see it for myself one day.

    Regards

    Once again, you've given us another great set of TRF travelogue photos. Looks like the last weekend was another great time.
