Thirty years ago today, I was sitting on the steps of a printing plant in Mendota, Illinois, flipping through the pages of the very first copy of Girls' Life. It was such an impossible dream to me then—and it still is. It's hard to even put into words what the last three decades have been like. Has it been a lot of work? Heck yes. Has it also been a lot of fun? Absolutely. But what has truly been the highlight is the people who pour their passion into every single issue.

If you're the kind of person who switches their workout playlist to Holiday Hits starting in October, please feel free to skip right over this page. Dream in sugarplums? Flip on by. Own a Christmas sweater...and Christmas socks...and Christmas underwear? Gentle reader, this is not for you. What I am about to say makes me feel like the worst sort of person: Hi, my name is Karen, and I have broken up with Christmas. Like many breakups, our relationship seemed somewhat doomed from the start.
