Saint Nicholas leading the children through Georgetown, the heart of the mountain market.

At noon on market days the crowd on Sixth Street parts and the procession comes through: children in white carrying candles, and Saint Nicholas in his long robe walking beside them. This ornament holds that minute, with the Victorian storefronts of Georgetown behind.

If your family drives up the canyon every December for the chestnuts and the carolers, this is your ornament. It is a three-inch round of faceted crystal glass on a red ribbon, printed so the open areas of the drawing let the light through, in your choice of a white or gold gift box. It is a lovely thing to give the children who have walked in the procession, and their grandparents, and it suits anyone who prefers the old Saint Nicholas to the department-store one.

Georgetown is a silver-mining town of the 1860s and 1870s whose Victorian streets survived almost whole. For more than sixty years it has held an outdoor market on the first two weekends of December, in the European manner, with roasted chestnuts, street carolers and horse-drawn wagon rides. The Santa Lucia children's procession, escorted by Saint Nicholas, is held each market day at noon.

Plenty of towns have added a market in recent years. Georgetown's is the one others copied, and the procession is the part that has never changed.
