CHRISTMAS AT PALAMUSE MUSEUM

Dec. 7 - 8
Who doesn't like a Christmas village. Always a staple of the season, it's a way of teaching the young and the young-at-heart about how people celebrated the happiest time of year in the past. But more importantly, it's the one time of year that traditionally stonefaced Estonians carry an aura of holiday glow. You might even see one smile.
