Doylestown Christmas suggestions from Karen


The Christmas season will be here before we know it.  Each year it seems like the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve gets shorter and shorter.  So, just like most working mothers, I try to get some shopping in before then so the actual day is not as rushed and we can focus on the true meaning of the birth of our Savior.

Living in Doylestown you can visit so many small, quaint businesses that provide personal, out of the ordinary gifts.  Not only will you be helping our local business owners, but you also get to purchase a really special gift to give a family member, friend, boss or teacher…

Teenagers will love what you can discover at Siren Records, where you can purchase DVD’s, CD’s and even old fashioned albums. Your girlfriends will love the Crabtree & Evelyn products at The Paper Unicorn along with whimsical decorations, Godiva chocolates and Balsam Fir products.  This weekend they even have 20% off the whole store!

Stop in at Nonna’s for a hot chocolate or take in a movie at the County Theater after your day of shopping. Or even enjoy a delicious meal at Chamber’s or PA Soup and Seafood. 

I think the trick is to enjoy other shoppers, talk to the shop-owners, and try to be joyful in the moment and thankful for all our blessings, especially being part of a community as lovely as ours.
