Editor’s Letter • December 2022

The holidays are upon us and I’m reflecting on how bummed I was when I graduated college oh-so-long-ago and realized I would never again have three weeks off for Christmas break. I mention it because my husband is retiring at the end of the year and he subtly suggested I do the same so I can learn to play golf. Needless to say, I am looking forward to spending more time with him and channeling my inner Aunt Bea to also be a PTA mom, cook real meals, and actually practice my piano with a bit more enthusiasm for the praise & worship team. Heck, I might even learn to work a garden. 

A lot has changed since our first issue in July 2019… and in my pseudo-retirement the publishers have passed the editorial duties to the most capable of storytellers—not to mention a Georgetown superfan—our senior writer, Charlotte Kovalchuk. I will have a few bylines every month and, of course, I never leave home without my camera, but I am happy to leave the big responsibilities of this publication in good hands. Moving forward, readers can look forward to great content and helpful information in a larger publication that will reach even more homes and businesses in Georgetown.

In the meantime, this issue includes a lot of great info and activities for the holiday season, plus expert advice about planning events and weddings. Perfect timing for the many people who find themselves engaged between now and the new year. And, as you will surely find yourself enjoying the lights and ambiance of our beautiful Square, we included a little bit of why all town squares remain an important part of Texas culture. 

Whatever you may be celebrating in December, from our Georgetown View family to yours, have a happy and blessed holiday!
