The communities of Litchfield County arguably reflect that spirit year-round, and nowhere is it more obvious than in the small businesses serving us. Show them the love this season!
We all define the holidays differently, but for most the core element is love — of family, of friends, of the wider world. This time of year we might hold the door a little longer and give the benefit of the doubt a little more easily. The communities of Litchfield County arguably reflect that spirit year-round, and nowhere is it more obvious than in the small businesses serving us. Show them the love this season!

Eponymous Scandanavian home furnishings and antiques brand, @eleishvanbreems returns to Litchfield County after an almost thirty year hiatus, opening their new shop in New Preston.
Rhonda and her best friend, Edie Van Breems, started their company twenty seven years ago in an 18th century house and barn down the road in Woodbury. When the opportunity arose to open in the previous Dawn Hill Antiques at 11 Main Street, Rhonda and Edie leapt at the chance. They are excited to be located at the base of the village across from a roaring waterfall, in what had originally been New Preston`s original post office and market in the 1900s.
All are welcome to their Holiday Open House on Saturday, December 9, 11am - 6pm.

On a recent visit to @arethusa_farm in Bantam, I overheard a young lady at the dairy counter tell her parents, “I wish they carried eggnog year-round.” Sweet tooths like her wait all year for Arethusa Farm’s seasonal eggnog, a creamy rich formula that tastes like melted vanilla ice cream blended with egg yolk and spices. It is truly delectable.
Litchfield-based Arethusa Farm has been producing its eggnog for over a decade. Each year, they prepare a limited batch of sweet eggnog that flies off the refrigerated shelves. “Our eggnog is a wonderful seasonal dairy offering. We love the holiday spirit it brings,” says Arethusa Farm co-founder Tony Yurgaitis. “We have a great formula, and we use great milk, which is the beginning of any of our dairy products.” It is freshly bottled weekly during the holidays and includes no artificial fillers.

Letter from the editor:
Happy Holidays!
Litchfield County can be magical during the holidays! Our advertising sales executive, Jill Lawlor and I hope this special holiday issue provides even
more to vour eniovment!
In this issue we include a gift guide with wonderful suggestions from our local businesses. We get into the holiday spirit at @mayflowerauberge which has had its halls decked and stockings hung by Eliza Harris of @sisterparishdesign . Speaking of design, we love the new organic and neutral holiday edition of ceramics created by @dumais_made in Bantam.
It’s also a wonderful time to give back to the com-munity. Our helping hands piece is a resource of support for local nonprofits. And if you love pizza, don’t miss the annual Slices with Santa event in Washington.
There’s lots more in this issue, including folk-songs, @arethusa_farm eggnog, a holiday horse barn, the Sleigh Ride song by local Leroy Anderson, a holiday concert in Milton, the scoop on a new New Milford restaurant by John Bordeau, and more!
All my best,
Mary Beth
