FROM OUR PUBLISHER<br />
After the princesses and superheroes have put away their costumes,<br />
and Christmas lights begin packing the retail shelves, the “merriment”<br />
seasons are officially underway.<br />
For young families, most months have more than their share<br />
of activities and demanding schedules—but November and<br />
December carry the greatest weight for pausing.<br />
Even with schedules that scream for attention, the majority<br />
in our hometowns take time to express thanksgiving for their<br />
multitude of blessings and to celebrate the greatest of all blessings<br />
– the birth of our only Savior.<br />
Our staff hopes this issue is a reminder of your blessings and<br />
gives you warm thoughts as you pause to reflect on your own<br />
countless blessings. From my office door I catch glimpses of staff<br />
members who are dedicated to completing their assignments<br />
and who continue to help meet those never-ending deadlines.<br />
Their names are listed on the editorial page of each of our<br />
publications. I’m immensely grateful for their talents, attitudes,<br />
and willingness to work as a team.<br />
There are times that are stressful, and all will probably admit,<br />
there’s never a lot of downtime to small talk around the coffee pot.<br />
As we grow, and praise God that’s happening, additional jobs<br />
keep popping up which demand more work on everyone’s part.<br />
I’m blessed and grateful with a team like Hometown’s!<br />
As we set aside time in the next two months to share with<br />
our families and friends, let thanksgiving be at the top of each<br />
menu and gathering. We at Hometown Magazines consider<br />
our advertisers and readers high on OUR thanksgiving list and...<br />
if you are reading this, know that one more deadline was met!<br />
Let the merriment begin!<br />
