Fresh-cooked family meals. Long-awaited reunions with loved ones. Keeping old traditions alive while starting new ones. Counting our blessings from the year gone by. No matter what “the holidays” look like in your family, this season is all about the things that bring us together.

My first election season as an editor-in-chief is over – finally. I’ve worked Election Night before, but as the hired gun. Calling the shots last week was both exciting and exhausting, and I didn’t stump for a single vote.
