Merry Christmas from my family to yours. I hope your holiday season is filled with the good kind of chaos: warm meals, too many desserts, cozy conversations, and at least a few quiet moments where everyone actually sits down at the same time. Of course, if we are being completely honest, Christmas can also come with stress eating, last-minute errands, traffic, overpacked schedules, and the occasional reminder that the holidays can bring out the most dramatic version of absolutely everyone. Mike has informed me that those are not the cheerful holiday details we are supposed to lead with, so let me try again: may you spend this special time relaxing, laughing, eating, drinking, and enjoying the people you love most.
