Wardrobe Upgrade: Buy A Christmas or Holiday Tie

What better way to add a touch of wintry festive charm to your attire than by simply adding a holiday tie? Whether you’re headed to an office party, a family gathering, or simply want to spread some holiday cheer, a festive tie can be just the thing you need. A simple and stylish way to do this is by purchasing a Christmas or winter-themed tie. Whether you prefer bold and bright patterns or more subtle embellishments, nothing quite says wintertime like a festive tie.

My favorite place to buy ties is the Tie Bar. They make really great, high-quality ties that are incredibly affordable. And they have a wide-selection of different fabrics, patterns, widths, etc. So go checkout The Tie Bar and find a new Christmas time before it’s too late.

What to Watch: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

If you’re a fan of classic comedies and looking for a great holiday film, then Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation is an absolute must-watch. We get to follow the Griswold family’s holiday plans as Clark tries to create the perfect Christmas. But as with all family gatherings, things don’t quite go according to plan and hilarity ensues. Chevy Chase’s performance is top-notch as always, and the supporting cast is equally hilarious. It’s a film that will keep you laughing from start to finish and is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. So, put on your cozy socks, grab some popcorn, and settle in for a fun-filled movie night with Christmas Vacation.

Weekend Date: Get Hot Chocolate and Look at Christmas Lights

If you’re looking for the perfect weekend date idea, hot chocolate and Christmas lights may just be the cozy and romantic combination you need. There’s nothing quite as magical as strolling arm in arm, sipping on the warm and comforting beverage, and taking in the twinkling lights all around you. In fact, it’s the perfect way to escape the stress of the holiday season and simply enjoy some quality time with your significant other. After all, there’s no denying that sipping on hot chocolate while gazing at Christmas lights can be the ultimate winter date.

Book Recommendation: The Ghosts of Eden Park

For fans of Boardwalk Empire, I highly recommend the book The Ghosts of Eden Park. This non-fiction book tells the story of George Remus, a notorious bootlegger during Prohibition-era America. Author Karen Abbott paints a vivid picture of Remus’ rise to power and eventual downfall, complete with corrupt politicians, courtroom drama, and even a murder trial. While the book delves into the illegal activities of Remus’ empire, it’s not just a glorification of crime. Abbott explores the societal issues of the time, including women’s rights and the changing role of law enforcement. The Ghosts of Eden Park is a must-read for anyone interested in American history during Prohibition.
