| | Dear –FNAME–,
We wish you a Merry Christmas, a joyous belated Huannuka, and happy winter solstice to all of our friends this holiday season! We also want to send warm wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year! We’re taking a little time ourselves, to enjoy our friends, family and neighbors – and so you will only receive this newsletter over the next two week period. We’ve included some great New Years Eve celebrations, as well as some nice ways to enjoy time with loved ones here in the heart of Nashua. In the new year, your weekly edition of The Downtowner will resume on schedule. 🙂Many folks start to think of their charitable giving as the year comes to a close. If you would like to help support our mission of vibrancy, please consider helping us reach our year end goals by making a donation here! This is the last call for input as we look to 2018! Do you have a moment to help us out, by giving feedback on our 2017 programs? Your input will help us as we work to grow and improve! Downtown Nashua is becoming more vibrant each and every day, and you are a big part of that. Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey here: Take Our Survey. Be well, and stay warm! -Paul Paul Shea Executive Director

| | Did you Shop Small this Holiday season? Our photos of the week come from Downtown Nashua’s wide variety of wonderful retail shops, galleries, and boutiques! With just a few shopping days left until Christmas, we want to give a shout out to all of the small business owners who have been working hard this holiday season to bring you some great local options and fun finds. If you are looking for a literal one of a kind gift, something as unique and special as the friend or family member who will love and treasure it for years to come – Downtown Nashua has you covered. If you are interested in any of the items above, you can click on the photo, and it will reveal which of over 40 independently owned and operated Downtown shops you can find it at! You can also check out our full downtown shopping district map here. Remember there is free parking in Parking Zone 3 through Jan 5th (Garages & Surface Lots), most shops have extended Sunday hours, and many will be open until 3pm on Christmas Eve for your last minute shopping! When you shop small, it is a gift that keeps on giving – with more money staying here in Greater Nashua, and strengthening the local economy!
