Merry Christmas Bowie
Merry Christmas to our Bowie Insider family. As another year closes, we want to thank you for showing up, clicking in, and sharing your time with us. Bowie readers like you turn words on a screen into a real community, and we don’t take that lightly.
The holidays remind us to slow down and be present. Sit a little longer at the table and rest your mind. Call someone you miss. Enjoy this time with your family and friends, however your circle looks this year.
Over the next few days be sure take some time to settle in and pour yourself a hot beverage of choice; get comfortable and enjoy our drop down puzzles. They’re a small gift, made to spark a smile and keep your mind bright.
We’re grateful you’re here. May your Christmas be filled with warmth, peace, and simple moments that stay with you long after the season ends.
