The RVA Current – December 2025 | Volume 1

💬 FROM ME TO YOU…
It’s the holiday season, and if your calendar looks anything like mine, you’re probably busy! This issue includes another opportunity to download the RVA Holiday Guide so you don’t miss a thing, a little history of just why we are known for our tacky lights displays here in the RVA, and of course, an easy holiday friendly breakfast recipe for those hectic mornings!

❄️ RVA Holiday Guide
The holiday season is officially here, and with it, loads of events, activities, popups, markets, and more, and you’ll find them all here. It’s also got a list of my favorite local shops for gifting. As always, I’m trying my best to focus any shopping on local spots rather than big box type stores. When you think about it, they really are the places that not only keep money in our community, but keep Richmond unique as well! Check them out, and if you have somewhere that you love that I haven’t mentioned, let me know!

📍 RVA SPOTLIGHT 
Richmond didn’t just throw a few extra strands of twinkle lights on the porch—we’ve built an entire identity around over-the-top Christmas displays. From Barry “Mad Dog” Gottlieb’s original “Highly Illuminated House Tour” to national headlines calling us the “capital of the lighting universe,” the Tacky Light Tour is one of the most delightfully Richmond traditions we have.
In this Richmond Spotlight, I’m diving into how our city became famous for gloriously gaudy lights, what it reveals about our neighborhoods, and how your holiday style might actually help you choose where to live. If you’ve ever sat in December traffic on Wendhurst with a mug of cocoa and a car full of kids, this one’s for you!

🍴 What I’m Cooking Right Now
Super Easy Crustless Quiche
In this busy season, having a stash of great recipes that are not only delicious but also come together quickly can totally be your secret weapon. I love this crustless quiche for those mornings or brunches where you want something warm but don’t have hours to cook.
