For those who find it hard to get into the holiday spirit, this issue is for you. We’ve got something for everyone to make the most of the upcoming season in these pages—whether you’re hosting for the holidays, interested in taking in the wonder of holiday light displays, or even if you prefer to cozy up with a brand new read. We have holiday table inspirations on page 62—our favorite feature each year— and a unique way to decorate your home for the holidays (Hint: use mirrors you already have hanging on the wall for an extra “wow” factor—see page 60). We’ve included our annual gift guide from local stores and restaurants for the perfect person on your list. We hope it will help make the holidays less stressful - and maybe inspire you to grab an item or two for your own stocking. Holiday events are back, and we have a detailed calendar starting on page 24, which includes many holiday-inspired favorites to bring some holiday cheer, including the Sound of Charleston special holiday singing performance—followed by cookies and cider—inside the beautifully-decorated Congregational Circular Church in Charleston. Speaking of events, our holiday fashion spread on page 70 will ensure you are the best dressed at all your holiday gatherings, from black tie events to incredibly glam looks for a New Year’s Eve celebration or a memorable holiday meal. A special feature this year is our profile of the Lebanon Christmas Tree Farm, a must-see working Christmas tree farm in Ridgeville that has been welcoming families to choose and cut their own trees since the mid-1980s. Be sure to check out their weekend Santa’s village complete with hot cider and cocoa. Each letter to Santa “mailed” at the farm gets a hand-written reply! Lastly, there’s nothing better than giving back during the holidays. On page 48, we profile the local Toys for Tots organization, which accepts donations of new toys for children to open on Christmas Day, and on page 50, we delve into the Dragon Boat Charleston organization’s Festival of Trees holiday fundraiser, which supports cancer survivors. ‘Tis the season to be merry however you like, and I hope you find inspiration and joy in these pages.
