FROM THE editor’s desk
Happy Holidays, South Mississippi!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I think most of
us are beyond ready for some holiday cheer. With 2021 coming to a close, we’re all looking forward to the quiet reflection and hopefulness that comes along with the holiday season.
This month’s cover is once again sponsored by our dear friends at Mississippi Power, who make the Coast’s “bright” Christmas memories possible. For more holiday décor, check out our feature home: Bluff Creek Farm, the home of John and Alice O’Neal. This rustic home in Stone County is picture perfect year-round, but there’s something extra inviting about it at Christmastime.
Looking for something good to eat? We’ve got you covered. Our resident food reviewer enjoyed some amazing eats this month. First up, find out what all the hype is about the lasagna at The Sicilian II in Biloxi. Great-Great-Great Grandma’s recipe does not disappoint! Also in this section, be prepared to work up an appetite after seeing the artful creations at Rock House Steaks & Spirits in Gulfport. Believe it or not, the food tastes even better than it looks.
This season is all about thankfulness and giving. We hope
you’ll consider a charitable donation to any of the amazing organizations listed in this year’s Guide to Giving Back. Thank you to the local businesses who sponsored the featured charities, and to the dedicated staff and volunteers who dedicate their time to helping others.
