‘Tis the season to give and be given to! SRQ’s December Holiday and Giving edition comes with some bells and whistles. From the editors’ annual Holiday Gift Guide to celebrating local philanthropists who never cease to give their part. Along the way, SRQ honors some standout young entrepreneurs in our first-ever run 35 Under 35 Competition, as well as a RocketKids feature on raising resilient children. Mixed in the box of goodies are also just some fun reads on people of our hometown doing cool, print-worthy things. From a local teen becoming American Ninja Warrior and a local astronomer teaching telescope observation tactics to a local musician becoming a YouTube guitar sensation and a local blogger/designer bringing much Instagram attention to her newly-renovated boutique hotel on Anna Maria Island. December’s issue is full of wonderful stories that will make you want to cozy up for the holidays and spread the season’s joy past these pages. Happy Holidays!
