The entire month of December feels like a celebration to me. Between the assortment of holiday parties, the increased amount of baking, the multitude decorations, the sounds of Christmas music, and the holidays themselves, it feels like a non-stop party. At our house, the decorations came out the day after Thanksgiving.  I’m all for celebrating Thanksgiving as its own event, but once it has had its due, I like to make our house festive. So, our windows have candles and our year round tree has multi-colored lights among many other pieces of decor.

This month’s work anniversaries are fitting for the celebratory month. These two columnists provide us with cooking and holiday advice. What else could you need during December?
