Holiday season is in full swing, with so many great shopping
festivities that there are nearly too many to report. So let’s get

The 2010 Annual Juried Holiday Show and Sale, in conjunction with the Artisan Showcase, opens Friday, Nov. 19 and runs 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays through Dec. 23 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 South Allison Parkway, Lakewood, 303-987-7876, with holiday items, paintings, photography, pottery, jewelry, and much more in all price ranges.
And finally, with Hanukkah starting a mere six days after
Thanksgiving, you might want to do double holiday shopping asap at the East Side Kosher Deli, 499 South Elm St., 303-322-9862. We know it’s going to be hard to resist Wednesday’s opening day festivities at the much-awaited Glendale King Soopers. But if you’re there to check out
Kings’ “expanded kosher section,” we urge you to compare East Side’s prices. We’ve compared prices between ESKD and the Kings on Monaco and Leetsdale, and the ESKD kosher market basket turned out to be less expensive. There’s no telling what kind of deals Kings will have on opening day, but we’re willing to bet that ESKD will stay competitive in the long haul – and maybe in the short haul, too
