The San Marcos Art League is hosting its annual Food Drive for the Hays County Food Bank and, with the help of several local artists, will be donating the proceeds from a variety of artwork purchases this holiday season. This year, local artists have joined the Art League in donating different works in order to raise money for the Hays County Food Bank through the San Marcos Art Center in Downtown San Marcos. A portion of the proceeds will be donated from any purchase of a glass Christmas tree, ornament on the Art League tree inside the Art Center or any works marked as part of the fundraiser.
When writing advertising copy, I sometimes find myself desperately searching for a zinger of a tag line – and settling for trite admonitions such as “Make this the best hunting season ever” or “Make this the best summer vacation ever.”
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” However, for many of us, the holidays are the hardest part of the year. We suffer with loneliness, isolation, depression and grief. Some of us may have lost very close family members, lost a marriage, or lost a job. These losses can lead to extreme loneliness. With such excessive loneliness, we tend to isolate. We avoid holiday parties and making friends. If we make friends, we are scared that we would lose them just like we lost our family members.
One of my fondest childhood memories of Christmas in the 1970’s was riding around in the family station wagon, “Bessie,” to look at Christmas lights while I whined to my parents about needing a snack – again. There was something magical about a familiar evening landscape transformed to a radiant wonderland at the expense of someone’s lumbar spine.
