WindyCity Greek Christmas 2017 Page 3 From the desk of Founder & Editor Maria A. Karamitsos It’s been an eventful year. It’s hard to believe that 2017 is coming to a close. We’ve so enjoyed bringing you the Best of the Greek World, with Positive Greek News from Chicago and beyond, now in year 3. It’s an honor and privilege to serve the community, and bring these positive stories to you. This Special Christmas Edition is full of resources to help you prepare for the holidays. Faith, Traditions, Food & Wine, and a Greek-inspired Holiday Gift Guide will help you celebrate the season, hopefully with less stress. Don’t get caught up in the hustle and bustle. Count your blessings, keep your loved ones close, and most of all, remember the real reason for the season. Just before Thanksgiving, we lost my mom. She fell asleep in the Lord, but remains in our hearts always. We dedicate this issue to her. May her memory be ever eternal. On behalf of everyone at WindyCity Greek, we extend our best wishes for a beautiful Christmas season, and a Happy, Healthy New Year! See you in 2018!
