Because Christmas Shopping From The Couch Is The Best Ever

Yep. TIS THE SEASON. This week it will be Thanksgiving. That is… a lot of things. As you might remember from the Holiday Survival Guide for Sad People, the holidays are complicated for me this year. And as such, I am 100% dead set on maintaining a low-key holiday presence. Christmas shopping from the couch, under a blanket, in my pajamas, with every type of holiday candle burning in a relaxing, introvert-friendly Christmas shopping shrine around me is exactly how I’m imagining this going down. You too? No going out. No lines. No traffic. Just quiet and comfort and low-to-no-stress. This year especially, this is exactly what I need and want.

The Thing On Nine Million People’s Wish List

You knew it was coming, right? Because I know at least nine million people with this modern device on their Christmas list. Remember our Instant Pot series? Tender beef in 45 minutes. Lentil soup in 30. Rice in five. Life changing mac and cheese in three. I fully support this gift.
