Editors Welcome Hello families Welcome to our December 2019 and January 2020 combined edition! As I write this I can hardly believe it's been a full year since taking on this magazine. It's been an absolute privilege to do this work locally, connect local families to local events and services, to support local businesses and meet so many wonderful local people this past 12 months! Thank you to each and every reader, advertiser and member of our community. From my family to yours, we would like to wish you a safe, relaxing and happy holiday season and the best for 2020 and beyond! This edition is has some great articles including 'Choosing the right Christmas toy', 'Sunscreen Wars', 'Things to do these school holidays', 'Safe swimming', 'Tomato sauce' (trust me it's a good read), 'New Year traditions', 'New Year Gratitude' and even a 2020 Numerology forecast. We also have local events and information in our regular 'What's On in Casey and Cardinia' feature – including Christmas Carols and New Year fireworks, and very special holiday recipe. The winner of our October/November competition is Lavanya Monica Jyothis, a Year 6 student from Brentwood Park Primary School. Congratulations Lavanya! New competitions and giveaways are being planned for 2020 – so don't forget to pick up your copy each month! All the best to you all until 2020! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can help promote your local events, stories and businesses. Best wishes
