I love this time of year, but I often feel exhausted before the holidays even start. There is a ton a pressure to see everyone, do everything, eat everything, drink everything, and look cute when you are cold. It’s a lot. So much, in fact, that I completely forgot to post on Friday, and that has never happened.

So this year, I am giving what I can. I am a bit strapped for cash as well as brain power this year, so I am taking this one easy. I have a lot of people on my list, but cutting back on gifts, and trying to focus on the time I spend with the people I love, as well as giving what I can to places like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and The Nature Conservancy.

I have already made my greatest contribution to the world that I will ever be able to give, seen here, so I am going to coast for the rest of the year. I hope you guys get to chill a little and not worry too much about getting me presents. I know you were stressed about it, but I would rather a music video of you eating something delicious.
