WHAT WE'RE EATING AT CSL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

The holidays have been very exciting for the staff at CSL. From gingerbread cake (check out the Holiday Guide: http://www.citystyleandliving.com/holidayguide_2009) and cookies to savoury braised lamb steaks and roasted duck.

There is nothing better than freshly fallen snow, a good classic holiday movie (White Christmas or Miracle on 34 preferably) and the smell of baking to fill the air. In fact 2009 is the first year, in a while that we have had a White Christmas in Calgary. We wish everyone a fantastic 2010.

Thank you to all of our readers, contributors and partners for supporting us. We appreciate all who have made City Style and Living magazine a success. We look forward to inspiring you all in the coming years.

CHAMPAGNE DREAMS...

To our readers, subscribers, phtographers, and team at City Style and Living, Thank you for your continued support of City Style and Living magazine for the past two years.

City Style and Living has been in the works for twenty plus years, beginning with the dream of two local Calgarians.

The INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL and LOCAL support has been overwhelming, and with every issue we contiue our goal to produce a high level of inspirational and aspirational editorial and advertsing. We seek to create beauty in the everyday, showing Calgary off to the world in a new (perhaps more glamorous) light.

Happy new year, and all the best to everyone for 2009!
