CHRISTMAS CARDS If you’ve met me, you know that I’m a full-on cat person. My fiancé David is highly allergic to them, but after a few ENT visits he’s now converted into an even more extreme cat person than I am. Every year, we plan out our most eccentric

Christmas card, now starring our two cats, Gurl and Chester. We play Christmas tunes, attempt to dress up the cats, fail miserably, and ultimately surrender to our battle wounds. We already have this year’s card planned out (hint: it involves Rouses Milk).

WINDING RIVERS My favorite holiday tradition involves

getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We grew up camping each summer on the Buffalo River in Arkansas, and it’s still one of my favorite places. We’ve transitioned that

tradition to Thanksgiving; we rent cabins in the park (because brr! ) and spend the week on the river, walking the winding banks, collecting rocks and enjoying the peaceful getaway.
