I find the days leading up to Christmas among the most disorienting of the year. Part of it is being Jewish, and there’s a frenzy that I don’t quite understand. It’s also the weird limbo state between work and holiday. 5 years ago, I began inviting a group of friends to my home for Christmas dinner. The benefit is not only that I’ve secured an activity on the actual day, but it gives me a focus beforehand. And the one place I’m most at ease this week is wandering through the aisles of my favorite food markets. How are you holding up?
