Hello Friday! Chelsea here.

Christmas will be here before we know it, so if you haven’t made your dining arrangements yet, it’s probably time to start planning. There are options if you don’t feel like cooking, both on Christmas Eve and Christmas. We’ve gathered them all in one spot to make it as pain-free as possible. Cheers to a simple, easy, holiday celebration my friends!

I’ve always enjoyed looking through old photo albums or watching old home videos. I don’t even care if I know anyone in them, I just find it interesting to take a look back in time. If that’s your vibe, you’re going to enjoy this old video from City Center Mall.
