Oh God, It’s Elf-On-The-Shelf Time
[[link removed]]
Do you elf? Samm Davidson does, and that means it’s time to gird her loins: “I
climb onto a chair and steady myself before opening the upper-cabinet doors and
fish through the junk forgotten all the way up there. Finally I spot him —
tattered hat, worn lanky appendages, and a small stain on his belly. His eyes
are wide and he’s staring at me from the spot he’s been hidden in for the past
eleven months. It’s my wonderful, exhausting, controversial

felt-made friend — my Elf on the Shelf — and it’s almost time for his yearly
debut. Here we freaking go.”
If you’re still deciding whether to start the tradition, she’s got everything
you need to know before you commit. And if you’re already committed, she’ll make
you laugh in recognition. Good luck and godspeed to those who participate, and
just remember: You don’t need to run yourself ragged to make magic.

Don't Let Toxic Diet Culture Make You Feel Bad About Enjoying Your Holidays
[[link removed]]
Here’s a nice little reminder from the Scary Mommy archives as we head into six
weeks straight of VERY good eating: “Everywhere you turn, there are ads telling
you that you need to make a change. How many times have we heard, ‘New year, new
you!’ What is wrong with the old you? Absolutely nothing. Yet thanks to this
diet culture here we are, picking ourselves apart to find ways that we are
deficient,” writes Colleen Dilthey Thomas. Well, forget that.
