December was a delicious, decadent whirlwind of treats, including a Christmas lunch at historic Pete's Tavern with writer pals, Kate Braithwaite and Nancy Bilyeau; the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall celebrating a centennial of sisterhood; and drinks with the Hubs at The Plaza Hotel's elegant Palm Court. You can read more about the Rockettes and The Plaza on my History With Hope newsletter on Substack.
