Scenes of the Season in Skopje

I thought you might like to see some scenes of Skopje, like----



Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire---



And that is just about as far as the Christmas song goes in Skopje this year. We have not had much snow - just a few inches that didn't stay long. So Jack Frost isn't nipping at our noses yet.

But there are Christmas trees in shop windows ---




And a few umbrellas left over from summer --used to stay out of the rain that we have had for the past 4 days.



Here are a few photos of the downtown square.
















There are even live Christmas trees in the Bit Pasare (Albanian Market) this year. Seems strange to see Albanian women shopping for Christmas trees ??
