Embracing Holiday Traditions in a Turbulent Year

A special edition focusing on celebrating cherished customs, reinforcing community bonds, and finding joy amidst challenges.


This year's holiday edition invites readers to reflect on the comforts of Christmas and Hanukkah traditions, encouraging connection and joy even in the absence of grand celebrations.

In this special holiday edition, we pause for a moment of reflection and celebration as a challenging year draws to a close. With the festive spirit in mind, we explore joyful elements like Swedish folklore and delightful Christmas decorations, steering away from the usual weighty headlines.

For many, today signifies Christmas—a delightful day filled with family gatherings, carol singing, feasting, and revisiting beloved holiday movies. Inspired by the holiday cheer, you may choose to turn up Mariah Carey’s upbeat festive classic in the background of your home.

Equally important, tonight marks the first evening of Hanukkah—light the menorah with your loved ones and embrace the spirit of togetherness. For those who love crispy latkes but dread the post-cooking mess, remember that the joy is in the shared experience rather than the food itself.

A few weeks back, we invited readers to share their cherished traditions for the season, and we are excited to feature your heartfelt contributions in this edition.

Whether your plans include quirky, niche practices, a quiet day at home, or simply indulging in takeout and quietude, we encourage you to find peace in your chosen moments of joy. Here’s to a day of celebration, connection, and a renewed sense of hope as we close the year.
