I have to admit…I’m not a big<\/i> Christmas\u2014<\/span>or holiday fan, in general. I know right?! Me<\/i>? What I do love is watching people spread a bit more joy than usual, and you got to love the streets lit up with fairy lights! But another part I’ve come to enjoy is walking through those little holiday villages that pop up all over the city. Being able to engage with local artists as well as small companies is a highlight, and even though I wish I could buy something from every stand, getting to interact and hear the seller’s story is lovely.<\/p>\n
