Don't Suffer from Holiday Shame

To our readers: The Editor's Note in our December issue failed to make it into the final proofs of the magazine. Some placeholder text ran instead of the actual note. We regret any confusion. Here is what the note should have said...

Listen, I know how busy you are this month. You’ve got shopping to do, gifts to wrap, family to visit, cookies to bake, trees to trim, carols to sing, stockings to stuff and sugar plums to dream of. But the holiday season is about a lot more than just unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning - and if you don't stop to take a breath and enjoy some of the magic of December, you're forgetting what it's really about. Don't suffer from the shame of rushing through this month and missing all of the holiday cheer that's available to enjoy. In this issue, we present to you "25 Merry Days" – because every day of December should be festive, fun and filled with holiday spirit, and not just filled with check marks on your holiday to-do list. Read on, and remember to make time to enjoy the season. Happy holidays.
