From the Editor Winter is the season that we complain about the most. It’s the weather we don’t like. Driving in snow is often difficult and dangerous, and worse than that, it holds us up. We can’t get to where we are going fast enough, so we have to sacrifice some already whittled down time from our schedule and we just won’t get done what we want to get done. We think that all the other seasons are happier times. And I can fall into this just as much as anyone else, but aren’t you and I forgetting that winter is actually, for most of us, the season where we really have the best times? It is during this cold season when we go to parties, celebrate holidays, and get closer to family and friends. Our Winter 2015/16 issue of MONTCO Homes, Gardens & Lifestyle is full of things that we do while Jack Frost is painting our windowpanes. In our feature, “Dressing Up For Christmas,” by Beth Buxbaum we watch as top tier interior designer Maria Viola Kuffruff decorates an elegant Newtown Square house for Christmas. The photos by Glenn Race show the magic of Maria’s mix of traditional and non-traditional colors as she decorates this beautiful house. And we look at a couple of outdoor activities too. “Where Bunnies Become Rippers,” written by Maura McCormick is about Montgomery County’s own ski resort, Spring Mountain Adventures. In this story Maura explains how Spring Mountain became known as a place where people learned to ski and she also talks about the family that saved Spring Mountain and how they turned it into the great local resort it is today. Sleigh rides are for those of us who are nostalgic and may secretly long to live in a Currier & Ives litho. Mary Beth Schwartz introduces us to Matthew Wismer, owner of Northern Star Farm. In her article, “Jingle All The Way,” we not only find out about riding sleighs and why it is so attractive, but we also find out how to set up our own sleigh ride at Northern Star Farm—something I intend to do this winter. Something else that you can only get during the winter—cozy. I mean, how can you be cozy in the summer? And why would you want to be? Cozy is something you are on a cold winter night when you are sitting with that special someone on a loveseat by a fireplace sipping hot chocolate. The heat needed for coziness can be generated by wood stoves that burn logs or pellets, fireplaces that use wood or gas and a whole variety of inserts that burn gas or wood and can be put into an already existing fireplace. Mary Beth Schwartz examines all these options in her article, “A Hearth For The Home.” In our departments we feature a young flute player who has won high honors for her playing, a local woodworker, doctors, an artist, two great restaurants, and places to go and see throughout Montgomery County. So, if winter gets a bit oppressive and the damp cold weather seems over the top, perhaps that would be a time to curl up by the fire and read MONTCO Homes, Gardens & Lifestyle.
