Oh Hey, December!

Forget the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. This is what’s going on in the lobby of my office! And we didn’t even have to have a Justin Bieber performance, which I’m genuinely grateful for (if that kid’s not singing “Baby” feat. Ludacris, I really don’t want anything to do with it).

I’ve had a cold this entire week, and I can’t smell anything, so I have no idea if this tree is real or not, but I do know it’s real pretty. We also have a whole mess of wreaths and hanging thingies and a gigantic menorah. Multicultural!

For your amusement, I’ve included a list below of all crazy from my family’s Thanksgiving festivities. Five of these things did not happen. If you can name all five, you win a prize of some sort.
