Weekend Reading (+ Black Friday Sales Worth Shopping)

Happy Friday! Yes, we really do have snow – a lot of it! If you're in the states, I hope you had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving. Chris and I spent Thanksgiving separately this year, he at his dad's and I traveled to see family in MA. It was great, but we're definitely looking forward to a low key weekend actually spent together. I've been traveling locally a ton lately for work, with lots and lots of driving, so all I want right now is to be home. I have the day off today, so I'm looking forward to shopping a few sales (linked below), maybe doing a little holiday decorating, and getting to the gym – and snuggling with Zephyr. As busy as we've been lately, this is the first holiday season in a while where I don't feel absolutely out of my mind, and I think it's because we're not traveling as far to see family. Instead of the holidays being An Event that takes place over several days, it's pretty life-changing to have the whole thing just be a day trip. On Saturday we're planning on walking downtown to do a little Christmas shopping for Small Business Saturday and I can't wait to see Portland lit up for the holidays. We got a ton of snow this weekend, so things are looking especially magical around here. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, friends!
