This month, in a bit of a change-up from traditional February storylines centered on romantic love, all candy hearts and cupid arrows, we’ve got a heart-warming batch of stories related to kids and family. Stories for parents about support groups and baby toys and stories written about high school and college kids who will astonish you with their giftedness. There’s also a fashion spread as well as tips and recipes for hosting a super game day party.

I have always enjoyed sports. Not necessarily playing them because I’m not particularly athletic and mostly prefer to participate in activities where I’m unlikely to be injured, like reading. But I love watching sports and I’m often amazed by the abilities of athletes who perform seemingly miraculous feats of endurance, strength, speed and agility. It is not lost on me how much effort goes into becoming an elite athlete.

The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve are often a flurry of activity. I love the celebratory mood and overall specialness and significance of the holiday season. But even the most organized person might find all of December’s entertaining, decorating, gift buying and family get-togethers to be a bit too frenzied. My desire to emphasis some of what’s best about December and help you through some of its challenges inspires much of what’s inside this issue. Also, there are dogs.

One of the special things about this city is its heart for helping others. Countless Edina residents understand the value of giving back and how time spent caring for others strengthens the bonds of family, friendship and community connections. As the holiday season approaches, be inspired by the November issue of Edina Magazine with stories of local residents who routinely donate their time to fundraising efforts like the red kettle campaign for the Salvation Army.

Shopping in Edina is always a treat. New stores with wonderful and unique selections crop up frequently, making retail exploration in Edina a regular and much-anticipated event.
