Between the food, the gift returns, the fake laughs, and the buildup-to-relax-to-buildup-again, the days between Christmas and New Year’s Day can be a little blurry.
Those fortunate to have enough vacation time usually spend the entire week chillaxing. The rest of us make futile attempts to get things done with nobody else left at work.
As you sit there in a near-empty office counting down the days until you’re off again, take a look at the following list of things to do this week.
Notes
Tuesday night’s show at Maxine’s with The Body (Providence via Arkansas) should be big. Old schoolers might remember Hundred Years War. If so, enough said. If not, Pitchfork said this. Fauxnz is also playing.
Start making plans for Friday night. The list of choices is growing by the day, but we think it has slowed enough to warrant inclusion in this week’s holiday to-do post.
After that, you’re on your own. It’ll be a slow first few days of 2011.
