They dressed as Star Boys- not impressed with that bit as they got older though. I have a lot of the decorations you show in your photos. Eaten many of the delicious foods you mentioned - including eel and elk.

My mum and I used to go to the Harvest Festival which is all independent craftsmen/women. It's Christmas festive also.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001762609422751985.post-16696637587835457012015-12-09T17:41:05.672+01:002015-12-09T17:41:05.672+01:00This is beautiful, Annette!

I love the costrumes and decorations. <br />My country is so diverse - which is great - but there's no real representative "South African - it would be such a mixed grill! And sadly one often see the extremes, and not the real - caricaturing, in the end.<br />I've started buying beaded ornaments the last couple of years, usually at markets or on the street - at least my tree is getting a more distinct African flavour ;-DStelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945408396434091632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001762609422751985.post-19755339209119397082015-12-09T15:38:15.181+01:002015-12-09T15:38:15.181+01:00It all looks so festive and traditional.
