Today marks 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀, and we find ourselves looking back at what the past two holiday seasons have allowed us to imagine 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝘂𝗲𝘃𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝘇𝗰𝗮𝘆𝗮, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀..
How a community celebrates can say something about how it sees itself. There is room for invention within the traditions we inherit, and pleasure in seeing local creativity become part of an occasion people look forward to. At Gumorning Cafe + Concepts, being a café and concept space gives us a place to explore that possibility: to develop an idea, invite others into it, and see what it becomes in the company of our community.
An experience begins with intention, but its significance grows through the people who take part. What we conceive becomes part of someone’s homecoming, a reason for friends to meet, or a memory attached to a place they call home. To have a role in those associations is a privilege that continues to shape what we want Gumorning Cafe + Concepts to be.
These photographs and videos hold two years of that thinking made visible. As another Christmas approaches, we’re still curious about what we can create here, and what we might come to mean to one another through it.

TL;DR: 100 days until Christmas. A look back at two holiday seasons of Gumorning imagining and creating experiences for our community, and the people who gave those ideas meaning.
