The past two years have been very challenging, with many of us longing to spend time with family and friends, as get-togethers and celebrations that were once a natural part of life became complicated.

Now, after more than a year of canceled plans, video calls, and virtual hugs, we’re more excited than ever to be together again to enjoy the holiday season. It’s time to reconnect and get back to the cherished customs that warm our hearts, fill our bellies, and help make the place that we call home such an important part of our lives. Whether we’re gathering around the fireplace for a quiet night with family or inviting our loved ones over to share in the joy of the season, there’s no place like home.

On the pages that follow, Compass agents share recipes and stories about their favorite family food traditions and offer entertaining, decorating, and design tips to liven your holiday celebration. No matter the challenges we’ve faced, Compass agents from across the Delaware Valley have continued their commitment to helping our clients find the home of their dreams. We thank each of them for their unwavering dedication.

We hope that you will discover something special in these pages and maybe even create a few new holiday traditions of your own. Wishing all the best to you and yours this holiday season.
