December 2022 Issue

Welcome to December. This month we talked with labor reporter Kim Kelly, pondered the spirit of Christmas with the infamous John Waters, peered into road life with a tour diary from BRAT, as well as rounding up the best, and worst, of the year in our annual 2022 Top 5s.

What’s the real secret to cleaning a cast iron skillet? Top 5 car repairs you can do yourself? What are the benefits of raising a spiritual child? Where on the spectrum of life and death do your plants—and you—exist? What do the stars have in store for you? Do the cards have pertinent wisdom for this moment in your life? These questions, and more, answered in this month’s columns.

Our December cover is by Thom Karamus and this month’s insert—a 2023 calendar, Latin style (Mon-Sun)—is by Rachel Speck.
