By the time you read this, we'll be neck-deep in open tabs on our browsers, trying to keep track of every goddamn Christmas market, shopping pop-up, and EOY festivity there is on the mean streets of Montreal during the holidays.

There's no doubt going to be more announcements as we edge closer to the moment we'll be comatose on couches, buried in a sea of shredded wrapping paper, but for now we've decided to savour the moment as best we can and make a point out of shopping as locally as possible this season.

As you'll find below, just about every day of the weekend's going to have something happening where you can buy something from local artisans (check out our story on SOUK), which should make this season interesting and keep your friends and family guessing.
