The cover feature celebrated “Christmas on the Cumberland,” the downtown holiday lights display along the riverfront that has become a cherished Clarksville tradition — a festive centerpiece for the year's final issue.
“Twice as Nice” and a “Remembering” feature brought warmth and reflection to the holiday number, in keeping with the magazine's tradition of pairing seasonal celebration with meaning. “Decoupage Plates” offered a hands-on holiday craft for families to make together, and a Recreation feature pointed readers toward wintertime activities.
The health pages helped readers “Say Goodbye to Dry” skin in the winter months. The recurring departments round out a December number that balances festive tradition, reflection and family creativity — a fittingly warm close to the year and the decade's first chapter, sending Clarksville families into the holidays a little more festive and a little more connected to home.
“Twice as Nice” caught a parent mid-dilemma, having narrowed the children's gifts down to electronics but wrestling with the limits. The writer knew her kids' wants, their needs and her own budget; she didn't want to shelter them but couldn't compete with the Joneses — and resolved to learn the real risks of every device and account, from phones and the internet to video games, Facebook and Myspace, before rushing to the store to become, as she put it, the best mom ever.
