Editor’s Note • December 2020

While I would love to say this letter will be as extraordinary as the 1897 letter to Virginia about Santa Claus, my not-as-glamorous life includes important things like wondering about who in history thought a milky cup of raw egg was something we should drink (even with alcohol) at Christmas, rather than pour in a hot, buttered frying pan. I’m also enjoying becoming BFFs with my Amazon truck driver. 

Still, I love December, and I have had an excellent and mirthful time pulling together this issue. Even as 2020 kicked us around a bit, I enjoyed looking into traditional Texas-y holidays, and you’ll find more than one feature
reminiscing about some classics, traditional happenings, and great Georgetown alternatives to help us through the end of a pretty tough year.  

Among our great features, you’ll meet Diane Twilley, a prolific Sun City writer, and hear about her latest mystery; and Andres Jimenez, who received his newest canine companion in time to celebrate the holidays. 

We also spent some time with our new Mayor, Josh Schroeder, and asked him Five Questions about Georgetown-to-be. Regardless of what is going on everywhere else, I am happy we are in great hands at home. 

I hope you have a thoughtful moment, a few laughs, and—of course—I hope you have “Joy” in your holidays too.
