You're late to the game. We hear you. And making a last minute trip to NorthPark to buy your mother something overpriced and destined to be underused from Williams Sonoma will only take up more time than you have. Let's face it, you've been running a bit behind all year. You finally got around to paying your taxes last month and you still haven't updated to the iPhone 6. That “shop local” trend has been around years, but you just learned about it yesterday. Stop stressing and take a sip of this piping hot glass of mulled wine. Look around you, you're at Lucky Dog Books (633 W. Davis Street) at the Better Block Christmas Market. Take a deep breath and peruse either the shop's book colelction or the locally hand-crafted wares at the pop-up shop. Take your time, it's only 5 p.m. now, you have until 10 p.m. More information at betterblock.org.
