Monday, Monday… or 7 ways to keep things merry and bright this week

Watch Jimmy Fallon and the roots don Xmas sweaters, pick up some toy instruments and join Mariah singing “All I want for Christmas.” I will be very worried about you if you are not smiling by the end of the song.

Stop obsessing over what you haven’t done (what am I gonna get my mother-in-law?) and think about the future instead by picking up a 2015 calendar. Flavorwire has a list of some great ones to choose from.

Feeling a bit shattered by lack of sleep and overabundance of consumption (of alcohol, sugar, food in general)? Evidently, potassium broth is the answer. I have made a big batch and am on day 3 of drinking the stuff (which actually tastes good!) So far I am winning the battle against my impending cold, so it must be working.

And then once you’ve gotten yourself all healthy and whatnot, go check out these brunch recipes on the New York Times’ Cooking site and slide back down into the land of indulgence one last time in 2014.

Go to the biggest movie theater you can find and watch The Hobbit. Come on, you know you’re dying to see it.

Or if you prefer live entertainment, how about checking out Handel’s Messiah at Carnegie Hall?

Find a space for quiet contemplation in Douglass Gordon’s instalation at the Park Avenue Armory. Called tears become… streams become…, the show transforms the mammoth space into an immense reflective pool in the midst of which sit two pianos. Pianist Helene Grimauld performs at night… by day a player piano makes eerie music of it’s own.
