VIP Memphis Magazine December 2010: Letter from the Editor

From November to December we tend to shift our thinking from a list of what we are thankful for having to a list of what we are wishing for. For most, it is a time of celebration and family time. This year, I will be celebrating with my family and my husbands family and wishing for safe travels for all.

I’m looking forward to all the celebration dinners that I will get to indulge in as well. Each year, in addition to my parents’ house, we travel to Atlanta and Chattanooga for extra family time and holiday dinners, which include traditional favorites such as turkey and dressing, green beans, sweet potato casserole, Greenwood’s chocolate and pumpkin pie and homemade peppermint brittle. And speaking of peppermints, we have some great recipes from local chefs of Napa Cafe, Flight, Grill 83 and The Grove Grill.

Take a look inside to get some fashionable holiday gift ideas, tips on keeping your rugs clean throughout the years, recipes for your own festive holiday meal and enjoy Santo Claus and Friends shots of the VIP staff and our VIPets.

Merry Christmas!
