Holiday stills can be a delightful way to kick off this time of year. Here at These Days with Devon, we stroll (quite merrily) all year round… But this time of year, we really come alive as the twinkle lights welcome us to our local neighborhoods.

We are sharing our favorite Christmas-y strolls. Who knows? Maybe you’ll join in our holiday tradition!

Would you believe us if we told you that we've had the incredible privilege of meeting a living, breathing human rainbow? An individual so overflowing with color, passion, and life that it's like experiencing an explosion of vibrancy!

Indeed, we have, and his name is Sitka. We had the honor of immersing ourselves in the world of this artistic genius and his equally remarkable and creative wife, Helaine, at their Newbury Street gallery.

One of Devon’s favorite spots this time of year, well anytime really!

Land's Sake Farm is not only a place for agriculture but also a community hub that promotes education, sustainability, and the appreciation of nature. It serves as an exemplary model of how local farms can contribute to building stronger, more connected, and environmentally conscious communities. Devon concurs!

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a practice that involves setting clocks forward by one hour in the spring (to "spring forward") and setting them back by one hour in the fall (to "fall back"). The pros and cons are endless, read why and share your thoughts!

Fall and winter offer an array of seasonal teas with flavors that match the season. Think of spiced chai, apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or peppermint teas…

Thanksgiving dates back to the early 17th century when the Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated a bountiful harvest together. Since then, many families have established their own traditions over the years, with cooking special dishes and desserts, watching parades, and participating in charitable activities, gathering together, and more.

We have many of our own traditions, and Dev is spilling the secrets on her best her family recipes!

Halloween’s origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was held on November 1 in contemporary calendars. It was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits. These days Halloween has become so popular…
