Introduction and Table of Contents

As our downtown corridors get filled with twinkling lights and decorated trees, laughter and Santa Claus greetings, we’re sure the holiday season is here.

Everyone has a different way they like to spend the holidays — whether you spend your time with family, with friends or helping out in your community, ’tis the season for togetherness.

Throughout the month of December, people can share the spirit of giving by making donations to local food pantries and to the various toy drives going on in Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Windsor, Geyserville, Sebastopol and Guerneville.

For our small communities in north and west Sonoma County, it’s also a time for getting out and supporting the businesses that prop up our local economies. From plant nurseries to bookshops to your favorite clothing boutique, our local shops offer a bevy of items and services to help carry you through the holidays.

We hope you have a happy holiday season.
