On Saturday, November 21, 2015 - more than a month before Christmas - Tony and I chopped down our first tree as married Cavaleros. I use the term "we" loosely, as I wore high-heeled over-the-knee boots for this occasion, and Tony sawed it down without any help from me. But we're a team now, so WE chopped it down. Before you decide we are what's wrong with America, replacing our Halloween pumpkins with holiday decorations and blasting Mariah Carey's Christmas album while it's still 90 degrees outside, just know that we had to get our tree last weekend. Tony heads out to shoot a movie the morning after Thanksgiving and won't be back until it's practically Christmas. This was our only chance. (But, to be fair and honest, I DID start playing Christmas music on November 1 and drag out our holiday decorations, so you can hate me if you want. #sorrynotsorry)View Article

I am in awe of those people who always seem to have all of their presents purchased by Black Friday, and neatly wrapped under the (perfectly decorated tree) by December 1. I am not of that breed of human. If (like me) you’re still scrambling to get your holiday shopping done, here are a few of my favorite gifts.View Article

I LOVE Christmas. It’s a particularly happy time for me because I got engaged over the holidays, and I’ll always associate the season with that joy. But, I’m also the type of person who thinks it is perfectly acceptable to listen to Mariah Carey’s greatest holiday hits year-round. I’m one of those people most rational humans hate, who order iced peppermint lattes in July to feel Christmas-y and think that October is a great time to start holiday shopping and decorating. If you can wear white after Labor Day, you can also keep you tree up until February. It’s gross, I know. Sorry, not sorry.View Article
