Christmas Bazaar at the Swedish Church

An annual event, the Christmas Bazaar at the Swedish Church, Manhattan mustn't be missed.

  Karin Strömquist, looking wonderful as usual, is always at the entrance welcoming people to the Christmas Bazaar. "It's been busier than usual," Karin told us. "The tickets for the Lucia concert were sold out in two days!"

• An annual event, the Christmas Bazaar at the Swedish Church on Manhattan must not be missed. Nordstjernan was there and ran into a bunch of old friends. Glögg, lussebullar, pepparkakor or a plate of food for the really hungry guests. Then some shopping for tomtar, candlesticks, Christmas ornaments, Lucia-kronor, table runners, goat cheese, coffee bread, limpa bread, chocolate, sweets.... You name it, there's a good reason to head to the Swedish Church for their annual Christmas Bazaar, which runs for three hectic days in November and turns the church into a virtual Christmas card, all red and cozy. Friday had 980 visitors, Saturday 884 and Sunday 270 had visited just around 3 pm. What makes the affair go around is great personnel at the church and a whole lot of wonderful volunteers. Nordstjernan met and spoke to some of them.
