You can shield your eyes from the Christmas displays at the shops, refuse to flip the calendar to November, and even stubbornly leave your winter coat at home, but you can't deny that winter, and with it that hyped-up holiday called Christmas, are both around the corner.

Sure, Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet. But if you've got a preemptive Grinch on your back, the annual Christkindl Market is guaranteed to get rid of him. Inspired by a centuries-old German tradition of the same name, the event offers more than 100 booths with unique gifts, food, wine, and beer. You can also go on horse and carriage rides (complete with 19th century costumed drivers and jingle bells), sample international foods, attend "Elf School," check out a German band, watch a children's lantern parade, and listen to the bell choirs. While you're there, check out the Festival of Trees, an ongoing exhibit of creative decorations that'll further help get you in a festive spirit.

Christkindl Market, held at Granger Homestead (295 N. Main St, Canandaigua), is open Friday, November 13, 1-7 p.m., Saturday, November 14, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday, November 15, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults, and kids 12 and younger get in for free.
