A new season is here: the most wonderful time of the year. It's the season of giving, of seeing or at least facetiming the family, of presents, of ham, and fixins, and pie. It's these reasons and so many more that make it the merriest of seasons. And then there's New Year's Day and a new start, something we all need and I'm sure are looking forward to. In this issue we highlight many of the amazing things about the holidays in Charlotte from our favorite places to shop local for gifts to the Queen City's charities and philanthropies you should be giving to this year.
