Happy Black Friday. Today is the day after Thanksgiving and I hope you and your family enjoyed your day. The Storr family enjoyed a low key day and are going to have a low key weekend. I don’t have a lot of things to do this weekend and the calm is everything that I needed and more. So cheers to the weekend and let’s recap this week.
Baltimore Christmas Village
I had the time of my life in Charm City of Baltimore. Christmas Village in Baltimore is full of shopping, mulled wine and other holiday favorites, food, and of course the Christmas spirit. I met so many new people. Baltimore, the city has some of the best approachable people. I was greeted with so much love. I enjoyed all that the Christmas Village had to offer from the Ferris Wheel, carousel, and the ice skating rink down the road. You can catch the Reel recap as well as my recap on Tik Tok.
Tinsel Is Open Today (Friday)
We enjoyed the media day and preview at Tinsel this past Monday. Oh the fun that we all had. Tinsel is the most amazing Christmas bars in the city. From the decorations that cascade presents from the ceiling including a sleigh it’s amazingly captivating. Also what’s a bar without drinks? The bar has Christmas inspired drinks that set the bar high. From the Grinch drink, Santa’s boot, and more there is something for everyone. Tinsel is located at South 12th Street in Philadelphia. My Reel and Tik Tok recap!
Anastasia
I had the opportunity to see Anastasia at the Merriam Theatre. I will be doing a separate review that will be out later today. Thank you to Brian Buttler for the invitation and for Elle of Siponwhat for attending with me as my guest.
Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular Preview
Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular is open today. It’s a holiday light walk through. You can come and enjoy food, drink, pictures with Santa and more. More on the blog later. You can get your tickets today. It’s located in Oaks at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. 
Larry the Elf is Back
One of our kids favorite is Elf on the Shelf. Although they know he’s not real and they know the true meaning of Chriatmas they still love it. So I just have to be on point with moving him around. How many of my parents understand what I’m saying? Other than that we welcome Larry the Elf will be her until Christmas Eve!

Holiday Anxiety
Now that the holidays are officially here please manage your anxiety. Remember you can’t get it all or do it all! Practice taking breaths. Say NO. Don’t overindulge in anything whether eating or spending. Make memories are more important than what you are purchasing.
This weekend will be full of holiday cheer and family time. Other than that I wish you well. May this weekend be all that you could ever want and more!
