The annual festivities may bring with them an oftenfrenzied hustle and bustle, but there’s no denying tis’ the season for all things merry, bright and wonderful. To get the party started, we serve up “Holiday Host,” an in-depth look at the art of entertaining complete with tips to help hosts plan the perfect affair this season. From edibles to ambience, the colorful feature by Julie Vallone gives hosts all the tools they need to put on the season’s most alluring event. The fun doesn’t stop there. To celebrate the biggest event to hit the South Bay in years, Super Bowl 50, we bring two cheer-worthy features perfect for all of us armchair quarterbacks. First, writer Pam Marino delves into the charitable efforts behind the most giving Super Bowl ever with “The 50 Fund.” This feature offers a fascinating look at the origins and ongoing influence of The 50 Fund, the philanthropic arm of Super Bowl 50 that is making the South Bay proud. Then, we present “Super Bowl Blitz,” by David Goll, a complete guide to the events leading up to the big game. Covering San Jose, Santa Clara and beyond, the entire Bay Area will be part of the game plan. And there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate. The merriment continues with our 31st annual Holiday Guide, a lively lineup of festive events, along with an eye-catching display of inventive gift ideas in “The Joy of Giving.” Browse a parade of wonderful gifts for everyone on your list—from the Diva to the Dog Lover. In addition, our special section, Gifts Galore and More, is a one-stop shop for all things holiday—from perfect presents to great getaways. Of course, food is always in focus during the holidays, and again we’re proud to present our incomparable Dining Guide for readers who love discovering new spots to gather with friends and family. This handy resource points the way to top restaurants for all appetites, from cozy bistros to fourstar food palaces. As always, this issue features your favorite standbys: Calendar, brimming with two full months of fun-filled things to do and places to go; Spotlight, with its unique new products; and Style, a visual display of show-stopping fashions. And there’s more. The V.I.P. Guide: Your 2015 A-List of Resources is a showcase of outstanding companies doing business throughout the Bay Area. We wish you the very best this holiday, and we hope you’ll remember to step away from the long lines and overwhelming to-dos to enjoy a special indulgence just for you—whether that means treating yourself to a decadent dessert, or slipping into a luxurious bubble bath.
