The Holidays are finally here! And with the Holidays, comes TheBAYNET.comโ€™s Holiday Guide 2008.

This yearโ€™s guide promises to fill your appetite with delectable seasonal recipes, including Roast Goose and a Holiday Wreath dessert. Get gift giving tips for guys and gift giving tips for gals! Learn how to give green.

Interior Designer Christina Gonzalez, of Traditions of Loveville, writes a guest column on how to wow your guests this season with Holiday Dรฉcor and learn how to build a Holiday wreath in our Dรฉcor section.

A special section this year has been dedicated to honoring our troops abroad and at home. We asked readers to submit stories about their loved ones or to send in their own personal salute. Read poems and dedications in the Salute to Troops section.

Also, check out our calendar of Holiday events sure to fill your season with cheer.

Anyone who feels they missed out on the Guide and would like to contribute a favorite recipe, an event or who would like to salute a troop, please contact Kelly.Martini@thebaynet.com to be included in this yearโ€™s guide.
