Get Up & Go! Next Stop: Christmas
For those celebrating Chanukah, the celebrations and gift-giving are already well underway. But this time next week, both Chanukah and Christmas will all be behind us, and most of us will likely be crawling out from under a wrapping paper and cookies coma with just a little sparkle left to get us through New Years. But don’t let it all come to a screeching halt yet. The final weekend of holiday shopping has just begun.
If you’re hoping to get in a couple of last craft fairs before the weekend is up, we suggest bounding out of bed and heading down to Silver Spring for the Fenton Street Market today from 9am-3pm. Plus, it’s at an ice skating rink, so even if you don’t do much shopping, the winter fun will still be in abundance. And for bargain hunters, St. John’s Church (2640 St.Paul) is hosting Bmore Flea-– a flea market of crafts, antiques, curios, and everything else that makes for a great gift. Head down today for last-minute treasure hunting!
If you’re looking for someplace new to hunt for treasures, swing by the brand new hot spot Thurston & Lovey in Hampden, They’ve got antiques, home decor, and jewelry galore– much of which you’re unlikely to find elsewhere in town.
And while you’re in the neighborhood, you of course won’t miss (sorry, but we just can’t advocate for this one enough) the lights of 34th Street. If you’ve already been there and done that, you can always spend Christmas Eve at the Senator Theater for a showing of the original Miracle on 34th Street– a treat for the whole family. And certainly a great way to slow down after this final mad dash.
