Hello Monday! Chelsea here.

When we talked about the Santa Extravaganza at the old Lazarus building last week, I realized that there’s a slight chance that some of you never got to experience the straight-up magic that was Lazarus during the holidays. I have the most amazing memories of going to Lazarus with my Great Aunt, visiting Santaland, and admiring the window displays while waiting for the COTA bus. It’s a lovely memory for me and so many others here in Columbus.
