The cover feature, “Santa's Work Is Never Done,” brings holiday cheer with a playful look at the season's hardest-working figure, setting a festive tone for the year's final issue.

“The Food Initiative” spotlights the Sango-area nonprofit growing healthy food and empowering young people through a working farm — a mission the magazine would return to over the years, here captured in its early days and a fitting subject for the season of giving.

“A Memorable Christmas” shares a heartwarming holiday story, in keeping with the magazine's tradition of pairing seasonal warmth with community spirit.

The health pages offer flu-prevention guidance for the winter season and mark World Diabetes Day with awareness of a condition affecting so many families, a meringue-cookies recipe adds holiday sweetness, and the recurring departments round out a December number balancing festive fun, charitable purpose and practical health — a warm close to the year.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out a December issue that balances festive fun, charitable purpose and practical health. Santa's never-ending work, the mission of The Food Initiative, and a heartwarming Christmas story all share the same pages — the playful, the purposeful and the tender together. It is a fittingly warm close to the year, the kind of issue that celebrates the joy of the season while spotlighting the local efforts that feed and empower the community. As the year ends, the magazine sends Clarksville families into the holidays a little more cheerful, a little more generous, and — with its flu-prevention and diabetes-awareness coverage — a little healthier, too.
