Thank you to my mother, grandmother, and aunts who have shared their holiday traditions and recipes with me, just as families do around the world.
Thank you to my daughters, who have reignited my love of the holidays and who inspire me to celebrate them artfully. It is a joy to find ways to include them as we explore old traditions and make new ones.
Thank you to all the Artful Parent readers who provided their feedback on my very first seasonal-craft e-book.
Thank you to Jennifer Urban-Brown, my editor at Roost Books, whose friendly guidance and professionalism make her a pleasure to work with.
And, finally, a big thank-you to Julie Gibson, my mother and collaborator, whose ability to see both the big picture and the smallest details makes her the best in-family editor a writer could wish for. Her dedication to quality and truth always inspires me.
