FROM THE EDITOR
But , as we go back to normal , don ’ t be in a hurry to shed off the simplicity of what we did last year . It was nice to let our expectations be tempered and , as parents , do a little less of what was expected and a little more of what was truly important to our families . I hope looking forward , you keep only the best traditions that allow you peace during this season .
We have assembled some great articles for you to continue to keep this in mind . Articles to help you keep your children calm and in control at family gatherings , alternative gifts that stray from the catalogs we all receive , a compilation of area holiday events and light displays and more . Don ’ t forget to take a look at our book nook for suggestions on what to curl up and read with your children . They are never too old to sit and read with you .
As we close 2021 and look toward 2022 , we wish you peace , love and prosperity .
DR . BARBARA C . HOLLEY EDITOR , PARENT MAGAZINES
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year !
We all know that song , and I feel it every year about this time - the excitement of seeing family and friends , feeling the joy of the season and preparing for a new year , a fresh start . Last year many of us celebrated in a smaller setting than usual , and now that things have opened up , we have the opportunity to see and spend time with more loved ones . We are looking forward to that .
