EDITOR’S LETTER

I t’s that time again! Although 2020 has brought its own set of challenges, the holiday season is still my favorite time of year! The smell of cookies baking, the sight of twinkling lights, and the joy of countless hours that are spent with family, make this season a truly magical time of year. I know this holiday season is going to look a little different than years past. Not everyone will get to see family or friends, but that does not mean we can’t still celebrate all that we have and all that we are thankful for!

This issue of Persona is packed with holiday cheer for everyone! Wrap up that perfect gift with “Make it Merry”. From fun little stocking stuffers to the big surprises under the tree, these winning gifts are definitely all wish-list worthy!

And, if you or someone on your list is a fashion diva, be sure to read “Festive Fashion” to find the coolest apparel and accessories to keep you and yours looking good and staying warm all winter long.

Finally, if you have cabin fever and need to shake up your holiday season with a little mid-winter rest and relaxation or want to take a quarantine trip with the family, check out the holiday getaways in “Holiday Getaways”. You’ll find the perfect trip to make lasting memories, all while staying safe!

Just in time for the holidays, check out this holly- jolly new merchant to make everything more wonderful!

Stay Warm. Be Merry.

Happy Holidays!

The Magic of Santa’s Wonderland Continues a Christmas Tradition at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Bass Pro Shops ® and Cabela’s ® is proud to invite families to the beloved tradition of visiting Santa Claus in person this holiday season, with a reimagined free Santa’s Wonderland experience inside all its destination retail stores back by popular demand. Through an innovative contactless visit with Santa and a variety of health measures, Santa’s Wonderland will prioritize everyone’s safety while allowing kids and families to share their Christmas wishes directly with Santa Claus. “This year has been incredibly difficult for so many kids and families,” said noted conservationist and Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris. “With countless activities cancelled and many families dealing with added stress, we feel it’s more important than ever to provide some free Christmas magic and help safely create cherished holiday memories.” Despite a trying year, American families remain strongly committed to maintaining the warmth and joy of Christmas this holiday season. A recent national survey found that 92 percent of American parents with children under 10 years-old want to hold on to holiday traditions as much as possible this year, with three in five parents comfortable taking their kids to see Santa with safety protocols in place. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s is applying a

comprehensive approach to help ensure everyone’s safety throughout the event. The company’s COVID procedures have been recognized and applauded by governors and health departments alike as a best practice for other retailers and public facilities. The enormous destination stores – home to massive aquariums and giant wildlife displays – offer plenty of space for immersive family fun, with safety precautions designed to be easy and fun for all ages. Families who visit Santa receive a free 4x6 studio-quality photo, as well as a free customized digital video that can be shared on social media. In addition, families can mail their letter to Santa and bring home free holiday craft activity kits. To learn more, and make a reservation, visit basspro.com/santa or cabelas.com/santa.
