What are you up to this weekend? My mom is visiting for an early Christmas celebration, and the boys are ecstatic. She arrives this afternoon, and we made shortbread last night in anticipation. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

Warby Parker<\/a> is offering 20% off two or more prescription glasses. I wear these<\/a> and these<\/a> every day.<\/p>\n

Bess Kalb\u2019s hyper-specific gift guide<\/a> made me laugh out loud. \u201cI love a fly-fishing dad. I have a fly-fishing dad. One day I will become, in my own way, a fly-fishing dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whoa, these shrimp towers<\/a>!!! (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

Have you seen this old Aziz Ansari sketch about commercial jingles<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The everyday gift<\/a> I\u2019m giving my sister. (I swear by mine.)<\/p>\n

Six months with mom<\/a>. \u201cAs a teenager, Danielle, a straight-A student, has the chance to live with her mom, a wild spirit with a dangerous streak who has disappeared into the witness protection program.\u201d (Via Gloria<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Beautiful advertisement<\/a> for a pen, of all things.<\/p>\n

Love this blue stripe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Corduroys and sneakers<\/a> are winter\u2019s most stylish combo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the ponytail guy from Good Will Hunting, and I can\u2019t enjoy fries anymore.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Freddie brought up marriage<\/a>, but we\u2019re stuck on one part. Would love your advice! (Big Salad, paywalled)<\/p>\n

Plus, four reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Christina on 11 readers share their favorite photos of the year<\/a>: \u201cI know the thrill of the first guess Wordle win! Nothing can take away that high. Once, I commented on my friend thread about how badly I did on that day\u2019s Wordle, and my friend Barb wrote, \u2018You\u2019ll always have ATONE.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Addi on four fun things<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve learned how to make my favorite fajitas at home. We use two chicken breasts, bell peppers, onion, broccoli florets, yellow squash, zucchini, Kinder\u2019s \u2018The Fajita Blend\u2019 seasoning, and the secret ingredient is\u2026 fresh pineapple! Cook it up, add your favorite tortilla, and bam: the best fajitas you\u2019ve ever had. In the comfort of your own home. With the Sopranos in the background.<\/p>\n

Says Anonymous on something weird happened last night<\/a>: \u201cOur family is going through an unbearably hard season \u2014 my husband is currently incarcerated, and I\u2019m taking care of our two little kids alone. Navigating the holidays feels impossible, but not creating joy for my kids this season \u2013 who are so young and have no idea what\u2019s really going on \u2013 is unthinkable. \u2018I can do it with a broken heart.\u2019 Thank you for this encouragement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Ruth on Kate Bear\u2019s house tour<\/a>: \u201cThe way I GASPED when I realized we get to see into Kate\u2019s house. Kate, it\u2019s just so you<\/em> \u2014 quirky, warm, and reassuring. Meeting you in Brooklyn was the highlight of my year. If I lived closer, I\u2019d be over for board games asap. xo\u201d<\/p>\n
