Yes, you've got a TON of errands to run before you take some time off/host a lot of people/travel for the holidays/hole up in your house and binge-watch the new season of *You*/rage for the end of a decade. But read something first!

We had a great chat this week about[ the charitable organizations you're supporting this year](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-your-favorite-philanthropic-causes-12-2019/)!

THANK GOD, [the Hater's Guide to the Williams Sonoma Catalog is ALIVE AND WELL.](https://www.vice.com/en%5Fus/article/qjd4k3/the-2019-haters-guide-to-the-williams-sonoma-catalog?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Vice\]

Amazing, at The Atlantic: [The Rise and Fall of an All-Star Crew of Jewel Thieves](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/12/rise-and-fall-all-star-heist-crew/602977/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). "They were highly sophisticated. The local police seemed helpless. Then a retired septuagenarian detective stepped in."

This was VERY amusing at Vulture: [The Plot of *Cats*: A Lesson in Garbage and Craft](https://www.vulture.com/2019/12/the-secret-to-understanding-the-plot-of-cats.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Lainey weighs in on [Emma Watson skipping almost all of the *Little Women* events](https://pubx.co/XflMwI?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

AND on[ The Adam Driver Thing](https://pubx.co/PRfu8t?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

This is enraging, at Vanity Fair: [*Little Women* Has a Little Man Problem](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/12/little-women-awards-season-men??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). To wit: "Many male awards-season voters are skipping Greta Gerwig’s adaptation, apparently because they think it’s not for guys. Says one cast member, “I just can’t believe we’re still having this f--king discussion.”" ME EITHER.

But this, at the LA Times, is delightful: [I survived a ‘Christmas Carol’ marathon: Seeing seven Scrooges in a row](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2019-12-17/christmas-carol-marathon-southern-california?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Everyone (well, random online publications) is flailing around about this and honestly I wish these two WOULD get back together, just for the GOSSIP EXPLOSION we'd all get. It'd be a fun distraction: [Brad Pitt attended Jennifer Aniston’s annual Christmas tree trimming party](https://www.celebitchy.com/645681/brad%5Fpitt%5Fattended%5Fjennifer%5Fanistons%5Fannual%5Fchristmas%5Ftree%5Ftrimming%5Fparty/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Celebitchy\]

Relevant to my personal interests, at Refinery29: [We Ranked The *Grey’s Anatomy* Christmas Episodes](https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/greys-anatomy-christmas-episodes-ranked?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is good, at WaPo: [The demise of formal nights on cruises: How dress codes are tearing passengers apart.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2019/12/17/demise-formal-nights-cruises-how-dress-codes-are-tearing-passengers-apart/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (I mean, my personal motto is that a cruise is the perfect place to commit murder and you should never go on one unless that is your goal, anyway.)

FESTIVE, at Atlas Obscura: [Every Year, Dresden Kickstarts the Christmas Season With a Four-Ton Cake](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/dresden-stollen??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At The Mary Sue: [I really need JK Rowling to just not talk anymore](https://www.themarysue.com/j-k-rowling-triples-down-on-transphobic-rhetoric/?utm%5Fsource=web&utm%5Fmedium=fuv&utm%5Fcampaign=linkswap).
