✨’Twas the Week Before Christmas in NHV✨
’Twas the week before Christmas in New Haven town,
And shoppers were circling up Chapel and down.
Store windows were glowing with deals to entice,
Here in this Haven for the naughty and nice.
Wish lists were growing with every boutique,
From locally made treasures to finds rare and chic.
Gifts for the hosts, the teachers, the crew,
And something small, yes, for yourself too.
The pizza was perfect, the slices divine,
Apizza debates paired with bottles of wine.
Modern or Pepe’s or Sally’s (of course),
A gift card solves dinner. Efficient. No remorse.
The Shubert marquee glowed warm in the cold,
A night out wrapped nicely, no size to be sold.
Cafés filled with shoppers taking a pause,
Cocoa in hand, planning who gets what and because.
At home, lists were checked, then checked once more,
Stockings filled early, bags tucked by the door.
Lights on the stoops, gifts ready to go,
New Haven had holidays down to a glow.
So here’s to a city that gifts with intent,
Where every dollar feels thoughtfully spent.
A week before Christmas, the message was clear,
Shop local. Gift well. Your guide starts here. 🎁
