In the town, I found tonttus(?) trapped behind a fence! Guess what? For what?

We went to a local Christmas market. It was held indoors, like a community center. There were several small shops and lots of handmade products were sold.

Lovely accessories, pretty color Christmas candles, delicious-looking breads and "piparkakkutalo" . "Piparkakkutalo" was a gingerbread house. ("piparkakku" means gingerbread cookies and "talo" means cottage, maybe.... It was made with gingerbread cookies and candies. It seemed like Christmas sweet. They were sold for 12-17 euro.

A Christmas play was performed on the small stage. Of course I couldn't understand anything about the play at all!
