I promised myself I'd have all of my shopping done before I went on vacation last week, but no chance. Yesterday, with days ticking away, I realized that I still had a ton of presents to buy. Last night, I stopped by the Downtown Holiday Market in front of the Reynolds Center where I found presents for everyone on my list well before my usual finishing date of Dec. 24. Read on for more information about the market and a few gift ideas.
