The Gilded Gazette - Happy Holidays

What a cozy close to 2025!

As the year winds down and the world slows beneath twinkling lights, we’re thrilled to bring you our Happy Holidays edition of The Gilded Gazette. This edition is a collection made to be read with warm hands, soft blankets, and some tasty snacks.

This issue is all about comfort, creativity, and connection. Whether the holidays fill you with nostalgia, excitement, chaos, or a mix of all three, our creatives have captured those feelings in stories, poems, artwork, and photography that truly capture the heart of the season. You’ll find pieces that sparkle with joy, some that lean into winter’s quiet magic, and others that explore the bittersweet edges that holidays often bring.

What makes this issue special isn’t just the content — it’s the people behind it. Every submission came from someone carving out time in their busy life to create something honest and beautiful. Some pieces are soft, some strange, some funny, some haunting… but all of them carry that unmistakable human touch.

And that’s what makes The Gilded Gazette feel like a little community of its own.

As editors, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has read, shared, submitted, or supported us this year. This magazine started as a small creative spark, and every issue reminds us just how many incredible voices are out there waiting to be heard.

So take a moment for yourself. Pour a cup of something warm. Open the new edition.
And let these pages keep you company — wherever you are, whatever this season looks like for you.

Happy Holidays from The Gilded Dragon & The Gilded Gazette.
Here’s to rest, warmth, creativity, and the stories still to come.
