Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

Let’s get things started with a real splash this week! On Dec. 5, we celebrate Bathtub Party Day, so grab your rubber duckie and some bubbles and hop in the tub. I can see where this one could get a little out of hand, simply because a party typically involves more than one person. So if I were you, I’d proceed with a bit of caution, keeping in mind the naughty and nice lists, as we discussed last week.

Unfortunately, we immediately move into more of a trickle zone. What we have here after Dec. 5 is a serious lack of luster where all things holiday are concerned. I just don’t get it.

No Hoodie Hoo Day, no Wear Different Colored Socks Day, or even a She’s Funny That Way Day.

Oh no. The rest of the week, we’re stuck with holidays like Weary Willie Day on Dec. 9, where we remember a clown. Or Nobel Prize Day on Dec. 10. Don’t even get me started on this one.

Of course there’s always International Mountain Day on Dec 11. While I don’t know what the real meaning behind celebrating this day is, I have to point out that I skied/slid down Les Diablerets in my younger years and remember praying I wouldn’t fall off the edge during my slide and plummet a million feet to certain death. If that doesn’t get your blood flowing, I don’t know what will. Just not sure it’s cause for celebration (at least for those who like me).

This holiday lull may be part of a bigger strategy, though, because we have bigger things to do, right now. Things like crafting our way to Christmas, shopping ’til we drop, and creating that perfect aura of Christmas (which is getting really close, guys). Maybe that’s the reason for the slack-off where other holidays are concerned.

Or maybe not. Next week has a couple of doozies lined up. So trim the tree and deck the halls while you can.

Next week, be ready to get your party on!
