As the New Year draws close, the veil is thin. Lost in parking structures, falling to pieces in Lowes, an unusual approach to calling on a handyman almost doesn't work. King sized bed frames forthcoming, questions of nightstands appear. To resent, to resist, to long for clean Gwyneth-mother-hands. Christmas happened. The hags read aloud an intimate and high stakes text thread. When Kate is disappointed, Jacqueline permits disappointment; only then might light creep in. In very big news, Boo the Cat, the wild boy from Jacqueline's courtyard, has moved in permanently. My god, the year ahead. There's peace in admitting it.

Yuletide is upon us and the hags are patently giddy. Jacqueline self-imposes limits in pursuit of a floor lamp while Kate fixates on a door protector for her wreath. A lighting specialist cold calls after hours and a candy cane’s glow keeps the neighbors awake. A scream, transmuted into jingle bells. When an artist produces Christmas for an only child. Chocolate bone broth, cake by the handful, and etched crystal bowls. To smash the gingerbread house as the party’s conclusion. Is Man on Wire a Christmas movie? Nice Lady Hive, rise up.

Get cozy for Kate and Jacqueline’s cold (and wintry) reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” aka “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Lock this in like peppermint, because it a likely to be a most merry new hag tradition.
