11 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS..!

Calling all Cookie Crafters, Carolers, and Christmas Gift Wrappers — there’s just 11 days left to go!

If all of the buzzing starts to feel a bit Bah-hum-buggy, don’t plot to steal Christmas just yet, Mr. Grinch.

Under all of the bows, the whole charade seems for show but maybe, just maybe, our hearts need to grow.

Anyone else reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas on repeat this season? Whether you’re grimacing like The Grinch or decking the halls like Cindy Lou Who, it can be easy to miss that neither one had the heart of holidays in mind. When we’re too focused on the glitz or determined to ditch the whole thing, we miss the chance to join together in joy with friends and family. This year, instead of shiny doo-dads and fancy new whatchamacallits, the gifts might include time spent together, sharing stories, and loving one-and-all.

One of our favorite ways to enjoy time together is strolling the Dallas Farmers Market, meeting neighbors, and celebrating community. No matter the holidays you’re celebrating this season, you’re sure to find friends who bring the warmth of home and tradition into your life here at the market. Holiday Pastries + Mince Pies to Gingerbread, Hot Cocoa, Cider + more you’ll find fresh local foods to fill the kitchen and feed friends (especially if you pre-order now!), but there’s one more thing you won’t find anywhere else — handmade gifts for everyone.

The local makers + crafters of the Dallas Farmers Market have the perfect gifts that mean just a little bit more because they’re made with love and community in mind. Make the most of the holidays by giving gifts with meaning and supporting small business families. While there are millions of toys and trinkets to buy this time of year, each handmade gift from local artisans is one-of-a-kind, made to last, and crafted with skill. Factories are fast, but their products are no match for the beautiful gifts designed by artisans + craftsmen — Santa knows the difference!

This weekend we hope Cindy Lou Whos and Christmas Grinches join hands to see Santa Claus at the Dallas Farmers Market! Whether you’ve been Naughty or Nice, you still have a chance to tell Santa what’s on your Christmas list this year. These last 10 days of Christmas are the perfect time to celebrate what the season is really all about!
