I'm going home for the holidays and I'm going to bring… my pajamas.
How fast can I be by the fireplace, sipping on eggnog and drifting to sleep with the Frank Sinatra Christmas album on repeat? Confession: Thanksgiving hasn’t even started yet and my brain is already thinking about my Netflix queue.
Instead of packing gifts (anyone hear of Amazon?), pack the things that really matter. Like patience to explain to Grandma why you're still single.
Do pack:
Don’t pack:
Because going to the folks is like going to the best hotel ever.
- Hairdryer
- Umbrella
- Basic toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc.
- Laundry bag. Thanks, Mom.
- Heels — see pajamas
- Clothes for leaving the house — see pajamas, laundry bag
Someone fetch me my red plaid pajama set and Santa hat while I mix up this Swiss Miss.
