Merrier and BrighterThe holiday season is one of the most highly anticipated and cherished seasons of year, but for some of us, escaping the stress is impossible. So open this issue, sit back, and read about how to enjoy the season and lighten your load. Writer Melissa Donald talks to Chef Mary Wheatley about planning your Thanksgiving meal in advance (page 12) and Lauren Williams meets with florists who have flowers that bring holiday cheer (page 46). We highlight some books you can give as gifts for yourself or others. Oh, and if you hate wrapping gifts, we’ll introduce you to a woman who can make your life much easier (page 10). Sit back, relax and let us help you put the thankful into your November, the merry back into Christmas, and the cheer into all of your holiday celebrations.
