Selling things in the Nordic Christmas Bazaar

Today I worked really hard! We started at 10 o'clock, setting up the tables for Sweden. We were selling candy, christmas bread, pickled cucumber, lingonberry jam and lots of glögg. I started out at 11.30 being in charge of the Glögg selling. We also offered a small mug of glögg and a gingerbread cookie, so I had to warm the glögg too. I continued helping out in the kitchen fixing the christmas plates, selling them for 1300 Kes each. Finally I worked at the coffee and cake table, where all the Nordic countries had contributed with home made cookies and cakes.
Around two o'clock, we sold out on the glögg and we were dead tired. We went home without waiting for the big raffle. The Swedish school was packed with Swedes, Danes, Norwegian and Finns and it was great hearing all the familiar languages. Tons of children ran around playing and people really seemed to enjoy themselves! It was a good day and I can't wait to hear how much money we made for charity in Kenya!
