About This Issue
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone here at South Mississippi Living!
Our December covers are always one of my favorites. So maybe we’re planning Christmas in late October! It’s never too early to get the holiday spirit going. Special thanks to our dear friends
at White Pelican for providing such a beautiful setting for our cover, and to the ever-talented team at Dolce Bakeshop for the beautiful (and equally delicious) cake. You’ll find more details on the cover items in our Shopping section!
In addition to Christmas cheer, our December issue is dedicated to philanthropy. In this issue, you’ll find our Guide to Giving Back, sponsored
by Mississippi Power. From ways to get involved
to charity listings should you want to donate your time or dollars, this section is all about returning good to the community. There are so many amazing organizations on the Coast, and we are proud to feature so many within these pages.
Also in our Leisure section, don’t miss all of the amazing festivities taking place at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino! From their annual Christmas decorations, which always go above and beyond, to entertainment such as The Nutcracker, performed by the Mississippi Gulf Coast Ballet Theatre, there’s no short supply of holiday cheer. Looking for even more to do this month? Be sure to check out our monthly Calendar of Events!
And, of course, every magazine includes our tried and true sections, including Coast Notes, Dining, Home, Shopping, and Healthy Living. We hope you’ll enjoy this month’s issue as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Love
