 While I have spent every Christmas in York for as long as I can remember, this year feels a little different, in the best possible way. For those who know me, it’s no surprise that as soon as the temperature dips below 50 degrees, I’m bundled up in a winter coat. But this season, the warmth I feel comes not just from layers, but from the incredible people who make this community what it is. Between the well wishes on my new position and the smiles and greetings at events, I’ve been reminded of why York has always felt like home, though truthfully, I don’t think it ever stopped being just that. I’m grateful to be part of such a welcoming and supportive community, and this holiday season, it’s clearer than ever how much York truly means to me. Mark Your Calendars:
