January Editor's Letter
Happy New Year! I trust you had a wonderful holiday season with your families. And if you are anything like me, you are looking forward to some quieter days in the next few weeks.
How do you feel about winter? It is no secret this is NOT my favorite season. Every year I wish we could go from the holidays straight to spring weather and skip over the yucky-ness that comes along with winter. I just don’t do cold. And the mess that snow creates? Ain’t nobody got time for that! But others actually like this season. I happen to work with one such person, Kristina Light. So for her article this issue, I suggested a piece on why winter is the worst season. She wisely declined my suggestion and came up with a fun piece that looks at winter from both sides: those who love it and those who hate it. She offers great ideas on activities to accommodate everyone. Check out her article on pg. 52.
