Hello Wednesday! Chelsea here.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Since we’ll be off tomorrow, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that I’m thankful for each and every one of you. Thanks for making my job the best job in the world. The holidays can be a busy time and if you have plans to do some shopping on Friday, it’s best to go into it with a plan. We’ve got the details on who’s open when, plus what kind of deals they have going on. Have the best Thanksgiving and we’ll see you back here on Friday morning!

I’m sure you’re all sick of me teasing our big giveaway announcement, so I’m happy to say the wait is finally over. Starting November 24, we’ll be doing daily giveaways. When the newsletter arrives, it will include a password, which you’ll be able to use to access the giveaway! We’ve got some incredible prizes lined up and I can’t wait to kick things off.

This Year’s Short North Holiday Hop Will Be A Pedestrian Only Winter Wonderland 🎉
High Street will be closed down for this year’s Short North Holiday Hop, and it’s going to be epic! Stroll through the Short North Pole, do a little shopping, enjoy local performers, and get into the holiday spirit.

The Holiday Train At The Main Library Has A Castle, A Massive Waterfall, And A Huge Cathedral 🚂
One of my favorite holiday traditions is going to check out the train at the Main Library. If you’re looking for a quieter way to get into the holiday spirit, this is the perfect way to do it. The train is so impressive, plus an afternoon at the library is a treat all by itself!
