MAGAZINE<br />
<strong>The</strong> holidays ARE magical! And this is a year where magic<br />
is more important than ever! We are striving to recover from<br />
pandemic darkness and we are searching for that special<br />
light that we find in <strong>the</strong> warmth and love <strong>of</strong> Christmas. <strong>The</strong><br />
spirit <strong>of</strong> Christmas is believing in <strong>the</strong> hope for <strong>the</strong> good <strong>of</strong><br />
all mankind. We fulfill that hope by caring and sharing with<br />
our loved ones and those in need. While <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r outside<br />
becomes colder, our hearts become warmer, and we rise to<br />
become our better selves! This IS “<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Holidays</strong>.”<br />
Finding this magic fulfills our dream <strong>of</strong> enjoying “Happy<br />
<strong>Holidays</strong>!”<br />
While <strong>the</strong> holidays are helping us become happier and more<br />
relaxed, our world is gradually becoming more secure and we<br />
are finally starting to look forward to travel. This issue is a<br />
compilation <strong>of</strong> delightful destinations, mostly seasonal, and<br />
all beautifully depicted in <strong>the</strong>se stories and photographs by<br />
North American Travel Journalists.<br />
We hope you are finding <strong>the</strong> magic <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> season and enjoy<br />
Happy <strong>Holidays</strong>!<br />
