Holiday Guide | Stocking Stuffers from Virginia’s Wine and Horse Country
Is it just me, or are Christmas stockings perhaps the best gift we can receive during the holiday season? As a kid, I was (as I’m sure most of you were too) most excited about the large, wrapped boxes. However, as I’ve grown up, it’s all of the fun, small, and thoughtful stocking stuffers that brighten the gift-giving and opening experience on my Christmas morning. Keeping in line with my sentiments I discussed in my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide about shopping and supporting small, local businesses, I think it’s even easier to be mindful about supporting small businesses when we are preparing stockings for our loved ones. Here’s a round up of some of the first-rate items in and around hunt country to add to your stockings this holiday season.
My Favorite Books of 2023
Transporting myself to different eras and immersing myself in the past has always been an irresistible allure for my literary senses. Within the realm of literature, historical fiction stands as a bridge between worlds, offering a unique fusion of imaginative storytelling and the rich backdrop of bygone times. In this journey through the corridors of time, I often find myself spellbound by the authors who masterfully weave history into their narratives. Today I am sharing my favorite reads of 2023 — and yes, we still have four months left in the year. However, I have recently become enthralled with a new series (stay tuned) and don’t foresee picking up any books aside from the next one or two in that series for the rest of 2023.
