I know that I'm still working on my autumn list of things to do, but here's the thing - autumn and Christmastime kind of overlap since the first day of winter is December 21st (did you think it was in November? 'Cause I did up until MAYBE last year). Anyway, Christmastime is happening and Imma get all up in it this year. Here's what I want to do.
Have drinks at the Waldorf Astoria. I've only done this once before and it was beautifully decorated for the holidays, so I really want to go again. (Update: since it’s 2022 and the Waldorf is still under construction - a better suggestion would be The Plaza or The Peninsula.)
Bake those cupcakes with the ice cream cone Christmas tree because those look badass.
Donate any old blankets, clothes & shoes (if you have kids, it might be a good idea to donate some of their old toys).
Mail our (personalized) Christmas cards. It'd be weird if this didn't happen.
Look for local Christmas fairs to visit (like these in New York or these in Toronto).
Decorate the house and put up the tree!
Go see the decorations at The Plaza Hotel & Macy's.
Buy some mistletoe at Trader Joe's.
Take a family portrait.
I encourage you to make a list of your own, not because I love lists but because if you do make one, then you're likely to actually complete some of these things and have a memorable December.
