Whether it is losing yourself to the strains of Tchaikovsky in San Francisco Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker, dancing to the tunes of great hit songs from Love Train: The Sound of Philadelphia, Part 1, taking in the live broadcast of the Los Angeles County Holiday Celebration at the Music Center or a host of other memorable performance programs, December is a time for joy. d e c e m b e r Dear KCET Member, In my life, I have discovered that the one consistent thing in this world is change. These last 12 months have been no exception—not only have we witnessed a historic presidential election full of twists and turns, we have also experienced great disruptions in the local, national and global economy. Through it all, KCET has remained constant— a smart, insightful and responsible source for the best news and entertainment on television. We have done it with an understanding that, in a media environment too often defined by dumbed-down escapist programming, KCET viewers deserve an oasis of enlightenment. Web Stories Green to the People Turning the spotlight away from glitzy green design and looking instead at the intersection of sustainable architecture and affordable housing. KCET exists because our steadfast supporters provide us with nearly 90 percent of our operating budget. It is difficult to measure the full impact that things such as inspiration, quality journalism, the arts and culture and historical perspective have on our society. But during this past year, we have all witnessed events that remind us just how important these things are. If you consider just how many members of our society KCET is able to touch, you realize that KCET is a great philanthropic value. So, as we embrace change and look to the future, I ask that you make a special consideration for KCET to help us continue to provide our vital community service and make an additional yearend gift. With your generous contribution, we can engage our viewers in the changes that we all face and help create a brighter future for us all.

And as far as our programming is concerned, over the years, we’ve established the tradition of re-airing many of your favorites during this month—and this year is no exception. We start on a musical note with “Tuba Christmas” on December 2, which leads into one of your all-time favorites featuring the eggnog and chocolate milk in glass bottles from Broguiere’s Dairy on December 3. As if that’s not enough calories, we once again visit a true California institution—“See’s Candy” on December 18. Then we go to the tape vault and pull out an adventure that took place more than 15 years ago as we head up to Grass Valley for our annual “Cornish Christmas” classic. Sunday, December 21, is our one-hour California’s Gold special featuring “Nacimientos,” and the next day, we visit the Ecke Farm in Encinitas to view their spectacular “Poinsettias.” One of our most poignant episodes airs December 23, as we—once again—are inspired by the story of the “Holiday Star,” which literally rose from the ashes. On December 25, we once again visit the secret location (somewhere in California) and witness the beauty and wonder of millions of ladybugs in their natural surroundings. On December 26, we marvel at the tradition of the “Firefall” in Yosemite, and Sunday night, December 28, we find the exact “Center of California” and climb to the top of the “Golden Gate Bridge”—two of your favorites! We end up with a bowl of “Menudo” on December 29, and some hand-pounded “Mochi” on December 30. Traditions are important—they give us all a sense of place. And even though we’re all constantly looking ahead with the anticipation of what tomorrow will bring, it’s also nice to look back and savor the past.
