The Abingdon Lions asked Father Christmas to be in their grotto on the Market Place in Abingdon today. He was giving little presents to children. He will be back on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day morning to fill stockings.
Somebody had made a Christmas decoration from wool on the post office box. There were also lots of stalls selling things that would make good presents for Christmas.
There were also decorations made of leaves to make houses and doors look Christmassy without using lights or blow up snowmen.
After Christmas there will be a pantomime about ‘Dick Whittington’ who had a cat. She is the best cat in all Abingdon at catching mice. You will have to go and watch to see what happens when they go to London. The Abingdon Drama Club are selling tickets.
It was a lovely market. Lots of goods for presents and a nice atmosphere. Nice to be able to support a lot of small and local businesses all in one place.
That cat outfit is purrfect!🐈
