A few years ago I decided that I hated the stress of the holidays so I recreated the holidays more to my liking. My boyfriend and I spend Thanksgiving Day together quietly, usually watching movies. It's a day off to relax and enjoy each other's company.
Christmas I organize a lot of community and charity based events with an undertone toward awareness. We usually raise money for local causes such as our Food Pantry or for local men and women fighting overseas. It helps me keep the spirit of the holidays. :)
The book sounds great! I'm adding it to my TBR pile!
