Great Dickens!

Yeah, we are total geeks. I make my family dress up for the Great Dickens Christmas Fair every year. My older daughter refused to be photographed with us ( did I mention that I force them?) but here's the rest of us in our period finery.

We have such a good time, especially when we remember to sneak our period-appropriate flask in with us!

Here we are with friends Marie Plette, Mark Streshinsky, and various children who attached themselves to us in hopes of a free lunch.
