Since I recognize that the holidays are often busy, stressful, and not so holly jolly, I want to remind you of some of the things we singles should be grateful for and also give you all some ideas to bring a bit more joy to your Christmas season.
- We can plan time away without permission or agreement (within reason)
- We can decorate as little or as much and in any fashion we want.
- We don't have to share the goodies and gifts we receive.
- We can get a little extra fluffy (or unshaved) and no one knows the difference or cares.
- We can listen to Christmas music and watch movies without enduring eye rolls or ridicule.
- Some of us have less work to do overall... less food to make, fewer gifts to wrap, one side of the family to visit, etc.
Some ways to make your holidays more jolly:
- Travel with your kids.
- Give to a cause - time or money or both
- Keep things simple and NOT perfect
- Take care of yourself- take a bath, a walk, a nap.
- Pamper yourself. Get a facial or massage.
- Say a prayer. Meditate. Reflect on things you are grateful for.
Merry Christmas, Friends!
xoxo,
Stacie

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
