Christmas is the season of giving, and we never need much persuasion to go on a bit of a shopping splurge (we see it as doing our bit for the economy, and we’re sticking with that excuse reason, should the husband ask).

Luckily, there are plenty of Christmas markets happening all around Singapore this year! From charitable causes to European-style Christmas fairs and markets, we don’t have to jet overseas, for there’s a festive fair for all when it comes to Christmas shopping in the Little Red Dot…
