Each year the little town of Oldenburg, Indiana hosts a festive holiday event: "Christmas Under the Spires". It's a great opportunity for everyone in the little town to show their Christmas spirit as they put on craft fairs, choral performances, highlight Christmas decor in local shops, and even invite old St. Nick to meander through the town spreading holiday cheer. We enjoyed the small town feel, away from the city, for the day. During our time in Oldenburg we visited with Sam's grandparents. Sam's grandfather builds beautifully handcrafted holiday creches, and the shop was buzzing the entire day with amazed and rosy cheeked shoppers. The shop is tucked into a beautiful old building, his displays adorn the walls of what was once the old meat locker. A shop full of character, run by a man full of character, in a town full of character.
It was a perfect day.
