This year we gave each other small gifts so we could splurge on a couple of club chairs for the house, which arrived today. When I wrote book chapters, I confined myself to a college library with chairs just like these for about six months. It took lots of searching to find the same design and the living room finally feels complete (though we need an area rug under them). Sitting next to a cozy fire, with a nice drink while ensconced in leather is a good thing.
