Are you all ready for the Holiday's? We just finished moving Mom into her new house here in St Marys, so decorations this year are a bit more basic than usual. We did make sure Mom had some ribbons/bows and bells on the new house, so she wasn't the only house on the street not decorated. Mom joined us on an outing with our church yesterday. We attend a military parish on Base at Navel Station Kingsbay. Fr Gerard arranged for our group to go visit St John the Divine in JAX, which is and Orthodox church. Fr Andrew was kind enough (after a 2 hour liturgy) to give us a tour of their church and explain the similarities and differences between the Catholic rites and the orthodox rites. It was a facinating tour, followed by lunch at a Greek restaurant (Just Kitchen) down the road. It was a nice holiday event. Mom is in the green coat. John and I are behind Fr Gerard.

This is our 4th year holding our Christmas market and it was a huge success last year- so much so that we didn't expect it! We were able to learn a lot about how to make things flow easier this year. PLEASE READ!
Here's what to expect:
- Buchner's is a German restaurant and bierhalle with a small biergarten in the back.
- We will have a rotation of 6-7 local vendors each market night- our vendors embrace the Christmas spirit and gift giving with decorated booths and gifts worth giving!
- There will be a Buchners delicacies tent in the biergarten serving classic Weihnachtsmarkt mulled wine (Gluhwein), pastries and savory bites for guests to purchase while they enjoy the market.
There are two ways to enjoy the market:
1. MAKE A RESERVATION to sit down and enjoy our full dinner menu AND walk around and enjoy the market. limit 2 hours. Email admin@buchnersbierhalle.com for reservations. *Get in the reservation line when you arrive to see host.
2. NO RESERVATION, NEEDED. Guests can just come and walk around the market and you can order drinks at the bar or visit the Buchners delicacies tent in the biergarten. We will have some seating for non-reservations but limited. stay as short or long as you like* walk-ins are also limited to capacity so you may wait a few minutes in the no-reservation line as we rotate guests for safety reasons.
