Hey y’all,

Merry Christmas 🤍

Since Christmas falls on Thursday this year, things around town are extra quiet — and honestly, that feels kind of nice.

The Gainesville Gazette has only been around for about two months now, and I just wanted to take a second to say thank you. What started as a simple idea to highlight local events, small businesses, and good things happening in our community has already been met with so much support.

Because it’s Christmas week, we’re going to keep things simple and take a short pause while everyone enjoys time with family, rest, and all the holiday things.

We’ll be back after Christmas with fresh updates, events, and more local highlights as we head into the New Year — and I’m really excited about what’s coming next.

Thank you for being here so early on and helping this little project grow.

Wishing you a peaceful, cozy Christmas and a great end to the year.

Merry Christmas 🎄
