A cycle was like slogging through mud to run a marathon: It was
long, arduous, and a little painful. And even if you don’t like the
outcome, it’s time to celebrate the fact that it’s over. Enter the
holiday season. Get those lights out, call your mom, hug your
brother who voted for “the wrong side,” and get ready to do some
serious cooking and some serious eating. You deserve it. With the
New Times Media Group’s annual holiday guide, you can make
sure you spread the love in all the right places—and if you’re
lucky, maybe share a laugh, a tear or two along the way.
Maybe you feel like doing your part to help the people in this
county who don’t have as much as you do? Or you really
want to attend a cool holiday event this year? We can tell
you how to spruce up your holiday cocktail party, the
most thoughtful ways to create your own gifts from the things
around you, and a story about love that survives through
strife. Really feeling like you need to see some snow?
There are ways to fake it on the coast. How do churches
feel about their once-a-year attendees? There’s a story for that. We’ll show you where to find locally grown Christmas
trees, and for an extra special treat, we’ll even help you
decide what beer to pair with that holiday pie.
