My daughter comes home today (Yayay!) and we’re going to break out some of the new cookbooks listed here and get to it. She’s a traditionalist (can’t even change up the Brussels sprouts) but I may throw in a dessert by Christina Tosi this year (see below). I doubt I’ll get an argument. And after stuffing ourselves, literally, with my husband’s famous Challah stuffing (link to recipe below), we’ll head out with our guide to all the fun and local Black Friday and Small Business Saturday events. We’ve gathered our favorite holiday activities, too, and you’ll find them on this list. Thankful for all of you who read and share the list. Love, Erica
