Hello!

Whizzhard Books is going to be hold a few events around Christmas, but I was wondering if the other shopkeepers and citizens of Hogsmeade would like the idea of a village wide Winter/Holiday Festival?  With mini-events throughout the week at different businesses and locations?  Perhaps, IC'ly from Friday, December 19th, 1890 to Wednesday, December 24th, 1890?  That way kiddos from Hogwarts would also be able to participate.    I think there was a Christmas Market last year (correct me if I'm wrong), so this would expand on it a little bit and make it more than just shopping.

Random Ideas for Other Village Activities:

• Other shops doing special things!
  
• Caroling
  
• Ice Skating
  
• Maybe an evening street festival?  With music, dancing, shopping, a bunch of refreshment stalls, things for kids, etc.
  

If other people are interested, I would be happy to edit this post and maybe even make a calendar of events within the Festival!
