FOREWORD

"And from the pewter sky, in the silent night
dancing, chanting and playing softly,
the snow falls like white roses."

(Dezső Kosztolányi: Winter twilight)

The beauty and recreational colour of the winter months have been expressed by many poets and writers, and this time of year also offers us a wide range of outdoor and indoor leisure activities.

Today, there is still a reason to revive, for example, winter folk traditions, not only for our children, but also in our homes and in tourism.

Although walking is the most popular activity among pensioners today, a recent study reveals other specificities. Getting to know a new place in winter can be an attractive activity for any generation. We invite you to a lesser-known town in your own country, where culture and health are on offer.

You can get new nutritional tips to keep healthy and bold ideas for reforming your Christmas menu.

And if you're tired after a festive feast or a walk around the city, you can sit in a comfortable armchair by the warm glow of a fireplace and enjoy a glimpse into the daily lives of famous personalities or even read a new book.

At the end of the New Year, we also make vows. For us, this is a continuation of the renewal process that began this year, not only in the pages of our magazine, but also in the programmes of the Lifestyle Clubs. Stay tuned for more in the coming year!

To all our readers, partners and colleagues, we wish you a joyful winter holiday and a recreation-filled New Year!

Sincerely:

Márton Magyar
