Holiday markets are underway, with arts, crafts, sweet treats, Santa visits and other festivities.
The intrigue: The holiday shopping season is kicking off this year amid national boycotts organized by the same groups that rallied millions to the streets at anti-Trump protests throughout the year.
- That could push some shoppers toward the types of local, artisan gifts you find at winter markets.
