     With Christmas two months away, holiday shoppers can get an early start while helping to raise money for local charities.
     The 23rd Annual Chi Omega Christmas Market will be Thursday, Nov. 9, to Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Dallas Convention Center.
     Featuring all kinds of high quality gifts for everyone, the Christmas Market has raised over $2.7 million to give back to the community over the past two decades.
