After months of eager anticipation, December has finally arrived, filled with tinsel, garland and joy. It is time to gather with friends and family and celebrate the hope and joy that are the hallmarks of the holiday season.

Christmas is particularly special in the City by the Lake. Thanks to organizations such as HolidayFest and the Hendersonville Parks & Recreation Department, Hendersonville locals have a wide variety of events available to help keep the yuletide spirit flowing.

As always, your Hendersonville Lifestyle team is ready and willing to help you plan your holiday festivities. Our December issue is filled from cover to cover with stories that will brighten your holiday spirits and help you get the most out of Christmas.

Are you beginning to hear jingle bells?

Good.

So, put on your mittens, grab a hot toddy and hop on our virtual sleigh with us as we take a tour of Hendersonville in the holidays.

First, we explore several different December events which are fun for the entire family. Parades, music, tree lighting and open houses… We’ve got you covered.

Next, look at several Christmas-themed books that are perfect for reading by the fireplace on cold December nights.

Continuing, we tell you about two recent festivals that showcased Hendersonville and helped set the stage for the rest of the holiday season.

Finally, we tell you about an exciting initiative underway by the City of Hendersonville that will help spread the word about our community – one vehicle at a time.

Sending you the best of the holiday season,

Rick Murray, Lynn Bowles, Jazmine N. Hodgson

fireside reads for the holidays Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It is a time filled with family, friends and festivities. It seems like there is always something going on, from shopping for presents to attending holiday parties.

Although the pace of the holiday season can be exciting, it can also feel a bit overwhelming at times. To avoid burnout, we should be sure to include some quiet time in our busy schedules. Slowing down helps us to relieve stress, and it provides a time of introspection in which we can reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.

One of the best ways to push pause during the yuletide hustle and bustle is to curl up with a favorite holiday book.

Nothing is more soothing than enjoying a favorite read by the fireplace with a nice hot toddy.

This year, we at Hendersonville Lifestyle would like to introduce you to a few classic books that can help us slow down and savor the holiday season.

From Pig Fest to SumnerFest, Hendersonville Is Happening TWO EVENTS THAT SHOWCASE LIVING IN THE CITY BY THE LAKE

In recent years, Hendersonville has become home to a dazzling array of entertainment options. From concerts to festivals, there is always something exciting happening in the City by the Lake.

While special events happen year-round in Hendersonville, they are most prevalent during the fall. Cool-weather, falling leaves and outdoor celebrations tend to go hand in hand, drawing large crowds.

Two of the city’s marquee events were recently held – Pig Fest and SumnerFest.

Pig Fest was held on Oct. 21 – 22 at Veterans Park. The two-day event kicked off on Friday night with a concert featuring the Kentucky Headhunters. It concluded on Saturday with a full slate of activities, including a barbecue competition and pig races.

SumnerFest was held at Sanders Ferry Park on Oct. 30. The event offered a variety of activities, including hot air balloons, musical performances and food trucks.

The City Lifestyle

Giving Campaign Now in its third year, the City Lifestyle Giving Campaign will give away $300,000 this holiday season to help individual community members who would benefit from a helping hand during their time of need. But they need YOUR HELP to make it happen! Maybe you know of a single parent struggling to provide, an elderly person who has experienced loss, a child enduring a health issue, a co-worker suffering a sudden, unexpected tragedy or a neighbor with a financial hardship who has fallen between the cracks of getting assistance. Chances are you know someone with a specific need—even if nobody else does.

To preserve and protect the dignity of every recipient, the City Lifestyle Giving Campaign is completely confidential. No identities will be revealed or publicized in ANY way. (Even those who nominate others may remain anonymous if they choose.)

Last year, City Lifestyle was able to give to more than 70 recipients all over the country by sending checks in the mail through New Year’s Eve. (This year, the goal is to double that number with checks ranging in amounts up to $3,000 each.)

With nominations flooding in from community members and leaders such as judges, police officers, teachers, nurses, social workers, mentors and readers like you, we were able to reach people who might otherwise go unnoticed.

“We believe in giving back and serving the communities where we live in a real and tangible way,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “This Giving Campaign is all about personally impacting the lives of people we know with an unexpected check in the mail just to say that someone thought of them this holiday season.”

Together with Matthew Perry, Chief Sales Officer, Steven adds that the outpouring and gratitude from the recipients was overwhelming and affirmed that this is a tradition they want to continue.

“We believe God has blessed our company with continued success,” Matthew adds, “so we in turn want to be a blessing to others.”

City Lifestyle has also enacted an internal giving program whereby every employee in the company receives $100 to give away to someone in the community. “The idea is to encourage our employees to keep doing it on their own,” Steven says. “Taking care of one another and blessing others is so rewarding that it perpetuates a cycle of giving. It’s extremely important to me as a person and as a company to foster that culture of generosity.”

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CUSTOM HENDERSONVILLE LICENSE PLATE SHOWING PRIDE FOR THE CITY BY THE LAKE, ONE VEHICLE AT A TIME

O UR TOWN | L IFE + CU LTURE

Hendersonville residents love their city, and they are eager to express their civic pride. Currently, an initiative is underway that will offer area drivers a unique way to showcase their city – a custom Hendersonville license plate.

The specialty license plates cost $35 more than standard plates, but the difference helps support the Summer Month of Reading Enrichment program (S’More), which helps students maintain reading skills during summer vacation.

“The specialized license plate provides a great opportunity to show your pride in Hendersonville and to help our S’More reading program,” says Hendersonville Mayor Jamie Clary. “The plate is a great way to show off Hendersonville everywhere you drive.”

1,000 plates must be sold by Dec. 31 to be produced. Plates may be ordered at SmoreReadingCamp.com.
