As magical as NYC is during the holidays, the cliché goes: there’s no place like home for the holidays. I’m spending Christmas in San Francisco with my parents! I’m off to eat the amazing croissants my mother makes every Christmas morning, and open presents (we’ll see how fun that is as my parents always ask for wool/cashmere socks…).

Happy holidays, dear readers! Wishing you and yours the merriest of days.
