Letter from the Editor
We’ve entered the season of holidays.
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and more grace our calendars at the end of the year. Clearly, none of these special days are going to be the same in 2020, but we can make the most of them with creativity, loved ones and great gifts.
In this issue, we take a look at a few of the many presents available at local shops. Candles, jewelry, clothing, board games, dog treats — whatever you’re looking for, rest assured a store nearby has it.
My general approach to gift shopping is to walk into a local store like Rebel or Art of the Table and see what strikes me. I typically leave with at least three perfect items for various friends, family and pets (they deserve love too). There’s all kinds of stuff you simply won’t find online, including totally handmade goods from local artists. Nothing’s cooler than owning a completely unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
To help you with holiday meals during this potentially stressful time, we also have a dinner directory! Check out local caterers, butchers and grocers to make your meal better with less effort.
It’s been a wild year, but the holidays are a time for tradition and love. Just remember to be safe, so everyone can be around for next year’s holidays too.
'Til next time,
Josh Veal, Managing Editor
