THE BERNARDS-RIDGE CONNECTION PAGE 6 theconnectionsnj.com NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022/JANUARY 2023 Happy Holidays to all our loyal and engaged readers! It’s hard to believe we are so close to another holiday season, and yet, none of us can deny the excitement we feel just thinking about the cheerful times ahead. We, at The Connection Magazines, surely are super excited to celebrate this special time with our communities. In this issue, we are highlighting the magic of the holiday season by featuring a HOLIDAY CHEER section to help you find the perfect gift, special places to wine & dine, and destinations to visit. The local businesses offer great deals so please look through this robust issue to find various options and patronize your area businesses. This is a time for get-togethers! Needless to say, food takes center stage. Keeping that in mind, we bring you a dedicated Restaurant Directory - a listing of local dining establishments listed by town. We encourage you to carry our print magazines or tear the page to have the list handy. Alternatively, you can easily look up the directory page from our online magazines. Don’t forget to make the page a favorite on your mobile devices for easy and on–the-go access. Worship Section: Find Faith, Hope & Joy! Our popular worship section is included in this issue. You may use this as a reference to find a welcoming place to visit and congregate to celebrate the religious holiday seasons in the upcoming months. All are welcome. We recently conducted a readers’ poll via our social media platforms and found that many of you are thinking of home improvement before the holidays. We encourage you to read articles full of tips, ideas, offers, and information from our local design and supply stores. Remember to keep up with your exercise regimen during these times. Stay fit with information from our Health & Wellness section. Feel the serenity of snow in this magical artwork created by Linda Quinn. The piece is titled, Barns at Natirar. "I walk at Natarir most days and was inspired to paint the “Barns at Natirar” on that sunny morning because I loved the play of lights and shadows on the snow. I have always loved the composition and knew I would paint it someday and that was the perfect day!" Additionally, find articles on: • Senior Living • Cutting-Edge Medical Technology • Family Law • Travel & more. Written by industry experts, they are loaded with information and insights.
