With the grand finale of the holiday season right around the corner, the desire to create the perfect festive mood can sometimes feel overwhelming. Just the other day I almost had a nervous breakdown in Target when I saw that they were out of Scotch tape and then, in the midst of the chaos around me – with over-stuffed carts squeezing past and the wail of other emotionally fraught shoppers echoing in the distance – I paused to put things into perspective. I may have to wrap presents with Band-Aids or unsightly duct tape, and will almost certainly sink into a deep depression when it comes time to take down all the decorations I lovingly spent weeks putting up, but there's still a lot to look forward to and for me, at this moment, the second season of "Yellowjackets" is at the top of the list in terms of pulling me through a looming post-holiday funk.
