Resurrection of Our Lord Roman Catholic Church in Laurel, Maryland, has an annual Christmas Wonderland Bazaar. We attended this year on Saturday (they also have Friday evening festivities), which meant a tasty lunch and seasonal activities for us.
The entrance had some low-key decorations, unlike the church hall. The hall was full-on Christmas, including a piano player with a songstress belting out Christmas tunes.

We had soup and sandwiches while the kids had chicken nuggets. While waiting for food, my daughter got a balloon animal. She chose the rather simple fish shape.

Since that was so quick (i.e. food had not arrived at our table yet), she had her face painted as well. She chose the rather elaborate rainbow-colored butterfly, which took quite a while and came out fabulously.

She and I ate our lunch while others perused the dessert area and the shopping.

We saw the frog princess from S

In addition to the local celebrity, they had international sensation Santa Claus visiting. The whole family got to pose with him.

When Santa asked about presents, my daughter said she wants an easy-bake oven. My son whispered quietly to Saint Nick, so I can't report on what he wanted. The toddler was mute on the subject. Maybe he was still enjoying lunch.

We bought some treats to take home and said farewell to our first foray into the Christmas season (it was on November 14, so pretty early).
