Ringing in the New Year is all about fresh

drop. However, basic human needs also need to be taken care of as you prepare
to say goodbye to one year and hello to another; the need for food. Yes it’s
true that many restaurants will be closed on New Year’s Eve, but lucky for
Atlantans some of the city’s best eateries are not only opening their doors to
customers, but also serving up a special menu. So plunge into 2013 with a meal
that is a delicious start to the New Year, take at look at who’s serving and

The holiday season is filled with events attended and
memories made, featuring your family and friends, but one of the most endearing
things about the season is the truly magical element it possess. The rest of
the year can be business as usual, but during the holidays you allow yourself
to embrace your inner child and believe in dreams and fairytales. A fairytale
is exactly what has set up shop at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, as Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is currently
playing to inspired and spirit-filled crowds. Come enjoy the beloved fairytale
just in time for the holiday season!

Sure, Christmas Day is one of those holidays
where it’s generally assumed, and even expected, that you’ll be dining on a
home-cooked meal. Whether that meal is by your own hands or a family member or
friend, eating anything other than food prepared by someone close to you and
eaten at their home or yours is frowned upon. Well times have changed and these
days, due to irregular work hours, travel times and a desire to spice up the
traditional holiday routine, more and more people are opting to dine out for
the Christmas holiday. read more >>

about the holiday season are the decorations and how they experience your sense
of style, taste and commitment to the season. Some people prefer the

suits them best. However, if you really want to see the magic of decorating and
what can happen when the ultimate design holiday is put in the hands of
professionals, you should consult the team at Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine. They have just unveiled their

The holiday season is a great time of year to enjoy your
family, friends, coworkers and last but not least, your neighbors. When

importance of neighborhood involvement and friendliness by holding a couple of

Aside from the Christmas tree, one of the most important and
highly regarded parts of the holiday season is the magical display of hundreds,
sometimes thousands, of twinkling lights. Although they only come out to play every

celebrated attractions, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, has crafted an event that
showcases the celebration and whimsical nature of holiday lights. The aptly named
Garden Lights, Holiday Nights, not
