NORDSTROM advertorial for Rundown.com

We Wish You a Nordstrom Christmas
Get your hollie jollies, and look great doing it


Santa's the ultimate player.

During the winter season, the old dude is everywhere. You spot him at all the parties, with girls on his lap telling him if they've been naughty or nice, and whispering their secret wishes into his ear. And somehow he still finds time to get home to the North Pole and keep Mrs. Claus warm at night.

How does Santa do it all? He doesn't work alone. He's got a team of busy elves planning his schedule and feeding the reindeer.

This winter, Nordstrom and Rundown will be your elves with the Nordstrom Men's Shop Insider Guide. (Although we refuse to wear the pointy hats.)

Every week, we'll give you the inside tip on Boston's coolest parties, art exhibits, theater shows, music acts, and more, paired up with the latest style picks from Nordstrom Men's Shop, so you can put together the perfect look for all your holiday plans.

You'll be rocking around the Christmas tree, and looking sharper than ever. Unlike Santa, who gets away with the same red suit every year.

We're making a list, and checking it twice...the Nordstrom Men's Shop Insider Guide is coming to town.
