So as I outlined here, and here, I’ve been travelling too much this year… a bit for fun, but mostly out of necessity.
I love writing this time of year, but despite my best efforts and desires, here I am, unwritten stories still lodged within my mind.
Since returning home after Thanksgiving (after usually hosting, I went away for the first time ever), I feel like a hamster running, spinning that little metal wheel in its cage. Running, but not getting anywhere. Catching up for the last few months, and getting ready for the holidays.
So, I’d like to introduce you to my past December writings, which some of you may have seen, but many more of you probably haven’t!
Last year we visited the venerable oldest tree, made holiday Coquito for the neighbors, affirmed Die Hard’s status as one of the greatest Christmas films ever, and learned that you can not only visit the Christmas Story House, but that you can stay there overnight.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus story while remembering my visits to see Santa at Clark Kent’s Daily Planet, oops, I mean the NY Daily News.

As always, the entire archive of essays and adventures is available for anything that might be new to you!
Thank you for reading! Enjoy, and have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season, and a Happy New Year!
