Around Edmond: Tis the season! Christmas is in 12 days! Citybuzz. ShopEdmond news.

Hi everyone! I’ve been crazy busy on the back end of the site, working on the January 2020 issue, and wrapping up personal business for 2019. I am super excited to be starting my daily Around Edmond blogs, after taking a bit to clarify what I wanted this accelerated blog to do for you all, moving into 2020.

Watching everyone’s stories at Instagram and Facebook, a lot of you took pre holiday vacations as your Christmas gifts this year, and what a seriously good idea, this particular year. With the vitriol going on nationally, a little down time is just what we all need to escape from the 24/7 bickering from our elected officials.

With the shortened holiday season, I’ve even seen some of you haven’t started shopping yet, and are just finishing up your decorating. That’s where I am currently. Half my tree is fluffed, with a hole in the tree at my desk’s eye level. So distracting. Tomorrow I am heading out to enjoy our community’s seasonal offerings then I am heading home to finish fluffing and decorate my tree!
