Holiday shopping has a funny way of pulling our attention toward big-box deals and online countdown timers, but the real magic is usually happening right down the street.

It started, as these things often do, with a misunderstanding online. A post began circulating claiming that The Old Farmer's Almanac , that iconic yellow book full of weather forecasts, planting charts, and moon phases, was ending its 233-year run.
