There’s something in the air that feels a little different; maybe it’s that we’re all getting the hang of 2020 (at least some parts of it), maybe it’s recent Presidential turnover south of the border, or maybe it’s the impending sense of Christmas cheer that seems to have come early. Whatever the case, the Universe feels like it’s slowly beginning to right itself.
More than likely, however, we’re just feeling of having the impossible weight of our annual East Coast Christmas Gift Guide lifted from our backs, so be sure to check that out!
Here is everything we covered in November of 2020.
