One year, in my early teens, my dad’s then-girlfriend gave me a Thighmaster for Christmas.

budget shopping
ARGH -- I AM SO EXCITED I COULD WEE.
shoppables
For some reason, I feel 100% naked without something on my head at all times.
bad mothers
Some years, I've spent the day crying on the couch, watching bad cable and eating takeout Chinese food.
new year's resolutions
I salt everything, no matter how well seasoned it already is. When I have a stroke at age 35, you’ll know why.
new year's eve
Wait. Does this mean I can just stay up forever?
funny videos
Yep. I'm a little bit YouTube famous.
holidays
If I have to be driving around with my headlights on at 7 at night, still trying to have a productive day even though it’s pitch dark out, I want to be seeing some damn twinkle lights and an inflatable snowman.
food
You don’t need to feel guilty for what you choose to eat, and you have nothing to make up for, and no reason to apologize. You don’t need to titter and say “Well, maybe just a little bit more” when someone offers something you want to eat.
crafting
Paper snowflakes and construction paper chains are indisputable holiday decorating classics, but these ornaments will kick your holiday décor up a great big holly, jolly notch.

christmas shopping
Buying Christmas presents for people, even the ones I love, fills me with more anxiety than anything else in my life combined -- and I used to work exclusively with suicidal people.
holidays
You can get into the festive mood without going near any bottles of red or green nail polish.
birthdays
I don’t hate my birthday. I just always felt undeserving of my own personalized celebration.
christmas
Inject yourself into someone's life each month for a year with a club of your own design. Or "How to stay connected while saying goodbye on the heart-breakingest last day of the nanny job."
christmas
Or why I obviously need Christ more than people who put figurines in their front yards.
crappy holidays
If you are having a hard time this holiday season, I really just want to let you know that there’s nothing wrong with you for not being flush with peace on earth and all of that.
holidays
I’ve never had such a triggering public freak-out, and I’m not sure when I’ll get over it.
