🎄 Chincoteague at Christmas

Soft lights along Main Street. Quiet storefronts. Porches glowing with the easy confidence of tradition.

This is how small towns do Christmas… not loudly, not hurriedly, but with a kind of calm that feels earned.

Thanksgiving Day in Manayunk is a quiet kind of magic... empty streets, cold air, and the feeling that the whole town hit pause. So I’m pairing those calm snapshots with a little flashback to 2023, when the same streets were lit up and full of color.

I love seeing both sides of a Main Street… the still moments and the spark.

Happy holidays, friends... here’s to finding beauty in every version of a town. Maybe you'll make it to Manayunk.com ... you won't be disappointed.

We don’t talk enough about the seasons when life shifts all at once... the work we do, the pace we keep, the way we see our own purpose.

My creative direction didn’t change because of a single road trip. It changed when I finally stepped off the hamster wheel and started paying attention again... to small towns, slower rhythms, and the stories that show up when you make space for them.

On my latest blog, I’m sharing the wake-up call that made me recalibrate and rebuild Destination Main Street with intention.

Take a peek in the comments… I dropped a few preview photos so you can see how it looks.

🎄 Hello, December.

There’s something about this time of year… you’re just going about your day... waiting for the train, running errands, walking down the same old streets, and then you catch a glimpse of a Christmas tree waiting quietly at the end of the alley.

It’s like the season taps you on the shoulder and says, “I’m here when you’re ready.”

Every town does it differently, some with grand displays, some with one simple tree in the square, but they all carry that little spark of anticipation.

Does your town have a Christmas tree yet?
And have you stopped long enough to let yourself feel that first bit of magic?

🍂🎄 Manayunk’s already dressed for Christmas, but autumn clearly didn’t get the memo.

I love finding these last holdouts of autumn clinging to the branches.

Last week I spoke with a woman from the Pacific Northwest about her town. She described it as historic, walkable, with a harbor people adore. And yet, despite everyone agreeing that the “old stuff” is the best stuff, every new resident ends up buying in a subdivision.

You know the pattern: new houses get built on the edges, people drive everywhere, parking becomes the obsession, and downtown fills with SUVs. The very qualities that attracted newcomers vanish under the weight of sprawl.

Community members feel like growth is ruining the town, but growth itself isn’t the problem. For centuries, adding people made cities better, more trades, more skills, more resilience. It’s only since the 1950s, when we outlawed normal neighborhood building and handed cities over to mega-developers, that growth turned toxic.

Subdivisions aren’t investments, they’re strip-mining operations. Developers clear the land, throw up cheap houses, and leave. Locals don’t benefit, new residents don’t integrate, and the community loses. Everyone walks away thinking “growth ruins towns,” when really it’s sprawl that ruins towns.

The solution isn’t complicated: build more of what already works. Walkable, mixed neighborhoods. Small lots. Local ownership. Another block of shops. Another cluster of houses near schools. This isn’t lost knowledge, it’s the exact way every good town was built in the first place.

Cities can grow without getting worse. They used to. They can again.

This week on the blog, I’m sharing a story about my friend Lisa, an online friendship that lasted three years. Friendship in this age doesn’t always look like coffee shop meetups or long dinners. Sometimes it looks like a postcard, a string of messages, and the ache of losing someone you never sat across from but still called a friend. Read it here:

👉🏼 https://marjoriehenise.com/the-bungalow-diaries/a-friendship-without-goodbye-and-the-postcard-that-remains

I hope this week you’ll pause and reach out to a friend... the kind you can’t imagine your days without. Send the text. Write the postcard. Let them know.

Thanks for letting me share a personal story this week. Writing it was hard, but it felt important. If you’ve ever lost a friendship that didn’t fit the usual mold, I’d love to hear from you.
