Adore Holiday 2019

FROM THE EDITOR

W hat I love about December is that I know that if I get organized and intentional, my actions will impact the community long past the holidays. We have power in numbers and no other month makes it this easy to support the arts, museums, and locally-owned stores that make our city so unique. In a world that seems to move faster and faster and begins to look the same, New Orleans fights hard to retain its distinctive personality and beloved traditions. It's something that brings us great pride. So in the spirit of "we're all in this together," I'm simplifying things. If a gift or holiday activity is also a gift to the city, then, check, one gift down and another to go. I'm not really a baking cookies kind of gal, but wine and cheese...yes, from locally owned grocery and wine shops. I'll take my nieces and nephew to the Nutcracker Ballet and we'll carol in the Quarter. Clever gifts from museum shops or subscriptions to their programs will make the cut. And for those who "have everything," I'm making a donation to the Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund, an organization that has helped make Christmas happen for over 124 years. That's what I'm talking about. That's why I love December.
