The season of gifting – and eating! – is upon us, and December is the perfect time for a winter market trip for local holiday gifts. But this month is not all about the shopping; we’ve got plenty of date night ideas (craft cocktail lessons, anyone?) or bring the kids along for adventures in baking or a visit with the jolly old elf himself. Whatever you choose, there is plenty to see and do before that final New Year’s Eve countdown.
