Best of the Blogs: Christmas Recipes!
Big shocker of the day – I’m still not done buying Christmas presents.
I know. I knowww. Christmas Eve is tomorrow. Tomorrow! And my mess of a self will be spending the night traipsing around NYC like a lunatic hunting for literally anything I can throw wrapping paper over.
It’s the most wonderful time of year!
Look, I can be honest and admit that my time management skills are only so-so at the best of times. So in the days before Christmas, know that I am a complete and utter clichéd disaster. Like, did I joyously trample a few tourists while in Soho this weekend? I most certainly did. Have I been flipping off cabbies with reckless abandon? Yes.. yes I have. And did I cry to a Bloomingdales cashier because I was tired and hungry and oh-my-god how could you not have in stock exactly!!! what I need 48 hours before the biggest holiday of the year?!?!
Yeah. It happened.
BUT, even in the midst of my own self-induced melodrama I haven’t forgotten about all of you. So here’s a tidy little run-down of my favorite Christmas recipes from around the web, expertly wrapped with a big fat bow because y’all are just so special and great.
Enjoy!
