The cover feature celebrated the Roxy's annual Christmas show, told with affection for the beloved chaos of putting it together — while the churches have the Messiah, the writer notes, the Roxy has its own cherished holiday tradition. It is a warm spotlight on one of downtown's enduring seasonal delights.

“Choosing the Right Gift for Your Children” offered parents thoughtful guidance for holiday giving, drawing on child-development research to help them look past the season's marketing to the presents that genuinely support a child's growth through the elementary years.

“Explaining the OTC Cough Medicine Crisis” delivered timely, important health information, addressing the 2007 concerns and federal warnings over over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for young children — exactly the kind of protective guidance parents needed as cold-and-flu season set in.

“Christmas Fun” brought seasonal delight, and a tax-strategy feature reminded readers not to wait until the new year to plan for 2008 — practical guidance as the calendar turned.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out the magazine's first December — a warm close to a landmark debut year, and the start of a holiday tradition of its own. From a single first year, a lasting local institution had begun.
