'Tis The Season...

Each Thursday, just before lunch, a Departures Dispatch e-newsletter zips into my e-mail inbox. I click on this digital arbiter of good taste, anxious to see what five "musts" the editors at Departures magazine recommend I know about for that very week.

Departures and its five things are kind of special. One of a kind. Neat!

The below Christmas tree at Claridge's hotel in London appeared in last week's e-newsletter -- and it made me smile. So jolly and fun and bright.

How can you Bah, Humbug! the holidays when this is what you see?
