Christmas magic is sparkling at the Inn—or maybe it’s all the decorations! Thanks to Inn Volunteer Camilla Thorogood, our halls are decked and bright and everyone can feel the holiday cheer.

What a special time of year. There’s a type of nostalgia at Christmas that never gets old. As we share our traditions with one another (and everyone seems to have a couple, big or small, new or well-established ones) joy emanates from all around.

We are also celebrating an anniversary this year: the Ancient Cedars Spa turns 20 on Christmas Day. Opening two years after the Inn, the Spa has expanded over the last two decades and it’s always a real treat to hear the positive feedback from guests who are nourished by an experience there.

Speaking of nourishment: every festive goody or lovely feast together helps build the anticipation of gathering and spending time with family and dear ones. The treasure of good company is truly something to celebrate, and I hope you are fortunate in doing so in the next few weeks.

With warm hearts, we wish you a healthy and happy holiday season, and a very merry slide into the New Year!
