Market Friday: Christmas is coming soon ❄️ 🎄✨

avatar

Hi to all!
I'm glad once again to join #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle.

With the beginning of real winter, a festive mood is already in the air. After all, Christmas is coming! So we will all be celebrating our favorite winter holidays soon.

I like this period so much! I love all these pleasant troubles caused by searching for gifts for family and friends. This year my presents will be more modest than last year. But they are also will be full of love, full of warmth.

Shop windows in Kyiv are already decorated with New Year's decorations. Christmas Fairs have begun, where you can buy handmade Christmas tree decorations. Yesterday I visited one of them.


Glass Christmas tree decorations are expensive this year. For example, one Christmas bauble costs $4.


Wooden Christmas decoration. Made in Ukraine. It costs $1.

A little "gingerbread" house. It costs only 0.5 cents. I bought it to decorate the juniper trees in my garden. You can see one of them has already on the twig. After returning home from the Christmas Fair, I immediately wanted to check how the new purchase would look on the tree. 🙂

I love plants, and I always decorate my house with Calluna vulgaris in pots for Christmas. Yesterday, I looked for a long time at the fair at these Skimmia bushes. They tempted me so much to buy them. The price is $10 per pot. But due to the unstable temperature in the house due to the power outage, I did not risk buying them, lest they freeze. Therefore, I traditionally chose a Сalluna vulgaris ($3 per pot).

The most popular Christmas gift this year in Ukraine will be candles. Yes! Because it is not only about cozy romantic, but above the light. A blackout requires Ukrainians to be creative. I have been using Christmas tree garlands for the second month to light the rooms in my home. ✨

The price of one candle ranges from $3 to $5. 🤔 So lighting our own homes with the help of candles is not so cheap. But we appreciate the small joys of life, especially now.

Time to finish my post. I hope it gave you a little festive mood. After all, everything related to Christmas and waiting for it contains real magic. Do you agree with me? 😉

Thank you for stopping by. Have a happy weekend!

I agree, Christmas contains real magic. I am sorry this year it seems as though things are costly. But it's great you have been able to buy a few things for your decorations.

Дякую вам за відгук! Так, передчуття Різдвяних свят завжди особливе, і по-справжньому святкове. Поки що придбала кілька дрібниць, а попереду найголовніше — пошуки подарунків! ☺️

Такий атмосферний допис у Вас вийшов😍
Дуже хочеться знову відчути цю магію новорічних свят, які були до війни...
До речі, ніколи не бачила до цього як виглядає верес. Тепер маю чітку ціль купити собі таку рослинку. Ну бо дуже вона симпатична.

Дякую вам за візит і теплий відгук!
Верес справді дуже мила рослина, я його потім пересажую в ґрунт. Нещодавно дивилася один фільм, "Диво", то там неймовірні ірландські краєвиди з долинами вересу. Тамтешній клімат для рослини просто ідеальний. А в нас вона потребує постійного догляду, і трішки вередлива. ☺️ А от Еріка у мене краще в саду прижилася. Гарного вам дня!

I agree with you! Your post is most festive and happy! I love Christmas and this time of year is very special to me. I love the markets they have also. This will be a very small Christmas this year, but, it is not about the gifts, it is about being with each other and enjoying the beauty of the season.

Everything seems a little bit brighter.

Your post was so warm and wonderful. I think of you and your family and hope those good tidings will be sent your way. ❤️ Thank you so much for your beautiful post. Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous! They make me want to scroll through again! Thank you!

I enjoy learning about the world and how it is to live in your corner of it, and if there are solutions to making it better in any way. I find it interesting to compare, not by the world's standards, but, by how we find the quality of our life with different indicators than the world does. It is not always about the wealth in money, sometimes money means very little when there is no value behind it. You cannot buy health although you can take care of what you have. Being educated isn't always about schooling, but acquiring knowledge and using it for the better good and happiness of the society you are living in. It is with great pleasure that I read through this and all of the posts, with these thoughts in mind.

Don't miss the small things in your life, they usually make no noise but can be indicators of bigger things. I enjoy learning more about you and hope you feel the same, that is why I find it important to take the time to read a couple of #MarketFriday posts and leave a genuine comment. It is important for a community to do this, learning about others, and getting to know each other. The fun is in getting to know people and making a positive contribution to community life. All this fun and money too. What is not to love? That is one of the reasons I joined Hive. How about you? :) I leave you with the guidelines. I hope you are having an amazing week!


Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:


Rules of the Road to Join #MarketFriday!


  1. Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service. It can be a movie, an auction, or even a museum. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or product.
    Take pictures! Be creative!
  2. Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy? How much did it cost? Was it expensive? Did it go up or down? A scroll of pictures with few words doesn't usually work.
  3. Post the pictures. Of course, you should tell a little bit about the ones you post, it is too difficult to guess about some.
  4. Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post (#hive-196308) This is not required but appreciated.
    PLEASE Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it!!
  5. Following me and reblogging the post would be appreciated, but not a rule, more vision for more views on the #MarketFriday posts!
    7. You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere on your post.

As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!
