I have a nostalgic, sentimental soul. It's one of the reasons why I love the Christmas holiday season, and one of the reasons I was drawn to the editor's position at Good Old Days magazine almost 12 years ago. I could hardly believe there was an entire magazine dedicated to preserving the stories of life, love and laughter from long ago. I was instantly charmed by it.

Dear Friends of the Good Old Days,
When we were selecting the cover for this issue, I was immediately and wistfully drawn to the image of the youthful skater couple. Their outfits are so well coordinated. Their skates are so pristine. They aren’t layered in bulky winter clothing. Why, they didn’t even don a pair of gloves for their outing! It’s an idyllic winter scene, with an added touch of romance in the chilly air.

Winter and subzero temperatures were no reason to stop having picnics when I was growing up in Iron River, Mich., in the 1940s and '50s. When it was cold outside, we kids still enjoyed hot chocolate, cookies and peanut butter sandwiches within the shelter of snow caves and snow houses.
