SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
Nothing warms the soul more than giving. Sure, we all enjoy getting presents, but the true spirit of the holidays is about gifting a smile to someone you love, and letting the people that matter know how much they mean to you. All the hours spent searching for gifts is worth it for that one moment of making their day just a little bit brighter. And let’s be honest here, we all need a bit more love after how difficult 2020 has been. Here are a few ways that you can spread the joy this holiday season.

The Original Gino’s Pizza
Okay, we’re gonna be honest. It’ll be hard for us to get through writing this without getting very, very hungry, because Gino’s Pizza is that good. So we won’t dwell on how delicious Gino’s trademark sauce is. Or how the crust always has that amazing texture to it. Or how their specific blend of cheeses gives every pie a flavor you don’t get anywhere else. … okay, that does it. We’re ordering from Gino’s right now. They’re offering a great deal for the holidays— an additional $5 bonus for every $20 spent on gift certificates.
