Stuff I want to do for Christmas:

Ice skate in Central Park (so much more bucolic than Rockefeller Plaza).
See the NYC Ballet perform the Nutcracker.
Buy some crap with my mom's Macy's card because I "forgot" to return it to her before moving. Sorry, Mom!
Sip fancy hot chocolate and try on headbands at Henri Bendel, not necessarily at the same time.
Figure out what a sugarplum is and then find one and eat it.
Attend the presentation of the Louis Auchincloss prize to Ada Louise Huxtable at the MCNY next Wednesday. (One of my favorite authors + booze = happy Cary.)
Wear all my tartan clothes that I packed specifically for the next four weeks so I can mail them home and have Mom send me new stuff.
Make New Year's Eve plans.
Three words...thick black leggings.
Get a job. But this can wait till next year.
