’Tis the season! As the chill of winter sets in and the days get shorter, we eagerly embrace the Christmas season. For some, decking the halls may have started well over a month ago. Some of us, however, firmly stand our ground, keeping Christmas neatly packed away until after the last of the Thanksgiving festivities. I was recently attending some of the holiday open houses around town and realized that while I’m still searching for Thanksgiving inspiration, others are already packing up their turkey yard inflatables and turning on the Christmas lights. They are trading pumpkin spice for peppermint and gingerbread lattes long before mid-November. The happiness and joy Christmas brings to so many inspires them to get the party started as quickly as possible. I get it; I really do. But my childhood memories of decorating for Christmas all happen after Thanksgiving. I guess it is just hard to break away from those childhood traditions. In this month’s issue, we explore the impact of The Salvation Army and its LOCAL impact for 127 years. That is an incredible legacy! We have lots of other holiday inspiration and stories to wrap up 2023. It has been a great year. Remember, while finishing up your holiday to-do list, shop local. We can make a big impact right here at home.
