Easton: An Enchanted Holiday Season

Sponsored by Easton Town Center. For over 20 years, Easton has brought families and friends together to celebrate the magic of the holidays. While things may look differently this year, we hope you’ll visit and experience an enchanted holiday season at Easton. Easton's number one priority is keeping guests and workers safe. 

Check out this link to learn more safety measures and more on what they have planned for the holidays this year. ❄️🎄

Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

I can't believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving. This year has been a total roller coaster and there were times where I genuinely wondered what life would be like as the holidays rolled around. As we move towards the big gift-giving celebrations, one super-easy way to help out our local community is by doing our holiday shopping locally. We've rounded up gifts for a variety of price points and people, hopefully making your holiday shopping just a little bit easier.

If you haven't heard yet, you can now stop by Jackie O's right here in Columbus and grab some beer to go. Just in time for your Thanksgiving celebrations at home!

Growing up in the 90s, I spent a lot of time at City Center. That was especially true around the holidays. This video from 1992 captures the essence of the mall during Christmas time, and just how overwhelming to the sense it could really be.

I will try to keep this little note brief, but that's going to be a challenge because it's about some of my favorite people in the whole world: all of you. Ahead of Thanksgiving, I wanted to give thanks to you for being a Columbus Navigator subscriber. 2020 has thrown a lot at us, but we really did get through it all together. I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
