Without wanting to sound all "Bah Humbug" I was beginning to think that the Christmas spirit had been lost (reading too many Daily Mail stories about the PC brigade banning Christmas trees or hooligans thieving from charity buckets will do that to you). But Facebook of all things has restored my faith in the silly season. There are some wonderful events happening all over Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire over the next few weeks, and seeing photos of the Burry Port Christmas market yesterday on the old chopsbook (that could be a Welsh version of Facebook) was great.
Fancy experiencing some local festive fun? Visiting west Wales and want to see how locals roll? (I believe that's what hip Americans say). Allow Mr Jakes to point you in the right direction (and the following events are just a handful of whats going down, there is much much more (check local event listings such as our friends Best of Carmarthenshire website).
11 December: Christmas fayre at Picton Centre (Picton centre, Haverfordwest)
14 December: Narberth winter carnival
14 December: Christmas Fayre Llandovery
16 December: Christmas Fair - Mynydd y Garreg (lifelong home of rugby legend Ray Gravelle)
18 December: Christmas Concert in Nantgaredig
