The cover feature celebrated the Roxy's annual Christmas show, told with real affection for the beloved chaos of pulling it together — while the churches have the Messiah, the writer notes, the Roxy has a cherished holiday tradition of its own. It is a warm look at one of downtown's enduring seasonal delights.
“Choosing the Right Gift for Your Children” gave parents thoughtful guidance for holiday giving, drawing on child-development research to help them see past the season's marketing to the presents that genuinely support a child's growth through the elementary years.
“Explaining the OTC Cough Medicine Crisis” delivered timely, important health information, addressing the 2007 concerns and federal warnings over over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for young children — exactly the protective guidance parents needed as cold-and-flu season arrived.
“Christmas Fun” added seasonal delight, and a tax-strategy feature reminded readers not to wait until January to start planning for 2008 — practical advice as the calendar turned.
The recurring departments and photo pages round out the magazine's first December — a warm close to a landmark debut year, and the start of a holiday tradition of its own. From a single first year, a lasting local institution had begun.
