"I was staring out the office window
in early November at the dusting
of snow on the ground from the
season’s first flurries (while having
a bit of a struggle coming up with
an opening for this letter), when
it hit me just how ridiculously fast
this year seemed to pass. Even
though 12 months had gone by,
hadn’t I just seen 2022’s first snow,
while hurriedly going through the usual mid-fall, prep-for-winter-weather checklist of making sure yard equipment was stowed, winter clothes were ready, and snow shovels accessible? Given
my penchant for sometimes leaving
things in my non-professional life
until the last minute, I chuckled
thinking that, while at the time, this
year’s holiday season still seemed
far off, it too was very likely to come
roaring up on me fast.

Fast-forward to early December
and many of us are probably
working on to do lists of all kinds,
including the ever-present gift lists.
And here at The Walleye, we’re
once again rolling out our annual
local gift guide to help you knock at
least some of those shopping trips
off your inventory of things to do.
Our elves have been busy scouring
the city for terrific locally made
and sold items that will delight
those in your life, whether they
be, at heart, an entertainer, an
outdoors enthusiast, an animal
lover, a collector, or have a number
of other interests."
