All the Frills: It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Now that Eleanor is more or less mobile and into everything, I scaled back a bit on my Festivus décor, but it’s just not me to not do a measure of decorating. I’m weirdly not a big Christmas person (I find the holidays more stressful than anything else) but I am a fan of its decorations. This year I invested in a smaller tree (much smaller than my usual 7 foot one) and a new set of all plastic ornaments – it’s about as Eleanor-proof as I can get it.

Weekend Reading:

• This is a really heart warming piece.
• This is 100% worth it for the headline alone.
• I am fascinated by the con job this woman was running.
• I am ashamed to admit that I almost never used paper towels before Eleanor was born but now you would think I was addicted to them.
• This article was fascinating – seriously, I learned a lot about HR structures in an orchestra.
