From the EDITOR There is something so sweet about cooler temperatures, warm fires in the evening and welcoming friends and family over the winter holidays. Winter is also a time for reflection and planning for a new year ahead. In 2022-2023, East Alabama Living magazine revamped its look and feel as well as added a fifth issue, East Alabama Weddings, dedicated to showcasing weddings and trends in the industry. Our magazine family is comprised of talented contributing writers, photographers, sales team, and advertisers. We strive to bring you, the reader, the best and most relevant content highlighting our community’s and the country's vast treasures. Thank you for welcoming our additions! We took the Winter issue as an opportunity to wrap up 2023 with decadence, delight, exploration, and craftmanship. Delight in the magic of Christmas with multiple occasions to visit with Santa. Explore the whimsy of Dahlonega, Ga., and Calera, Ala., which flourish this time of year with visitors seeking the old charm of the holidays. Indulge in the culinary world by allowing our local butchers to provide the best cuts of meat for your holiday feasts while delighting your guests with a chocolate masterpiece. Our community has enormous talent that is on display in various forms from curated retail to the perfected hand-crafted gift. I encourage you to support the artisans, authors, makers, foundations and retailers represented throughout our Winter issue. Explore our 12 days of Christmas pages as they provide special items to check off your list. As I look ahead to 2024, I want to first thank you for your dedication to our magazine. I am excited to venture with you into new discoveries and trends. I look forward to sharing with you people who enrich our community. I especially desire to ensure that as you turn the pages of East Alabama Living and East Alabama Weddings, you become more fulfilled. Happy Holidays and as always, Play Your Best!
