Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

Can you believe the first of December is upon us already? Time flies may be a over-used cliche. Nevertheless, it’s true – especially when you have strange holidays to commemorate. That said, let’s jump right in.

Ready to deck the halls or do a little baking, but you just can’t seem to find the time? Fear not. Stay Home Because You’re Well Day lands on Nov. 30. Think of all the things you could accomplish with a holiday like this. You could sleep in an extra hour, trim the tree, make a batch of cookies, do a little shopping, and still have time to create one of the crafts featured on our Craftdown to Christmas!

Next up, we have Santa’s List Day on Dec. 4. I’m sure I don’t need to stress the importance of this one. It’s essentially the day when Santa and the elves lump us all into one of two categories, with our names landing on either the Nice List or the Naughty List.

Just so we’re clear, this list isn’t set in stone. You’ll still have time to redeem yourself if you’ve been spiking your brother’s drink with hot sauce, or you stayed home from school or work because you were well. But with only 20 days before ol’ St. Nick loads the sleigh, you better get down to business and quick.

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.

Meanwhile, we’ve been babysitting the neighbor’s cat, who keeps jumping on the kitchen counters. I’m thinking I should probably end this week’s column here and remove all the double-sided tape off the counters… just in case Santa is watching.

So until next week, get your party on!
