This weekend is all about shopping.
Start checking items off of your holiday gift list (or find a little something for yourself!) at a faire and a bazaar, or find something sparkly at a local jewelry studio.
Or, you can leave all of that shopping for another day and enjoy a night out with Stevie Wonder. You can also get into the holiday spirit with “A Christmas Carol,” which opens at Goodman Theatre this weekend.
