I am not alone in this newfound predilection for a style arguably best suited to the grammar-school set. In the past few years, they have been sent down the runway at Chanel (simple black in a half-up hairstyle), Tory Burch (low and loose), and Miu Miu (oversize). Bow-wearing is probably the first thing I’ve had in common with Kate Middleton, sartorially or otherwise, as she has a penchant for a low ponytail topped off with a black velvet style from J.Crew, which cost just $22. It has long since sold out, but royal emulators need not despair—Madewell sells a similar one for $9.50. On Middleton, the style is prim, polished, and preppy. Perhaps the appeal of a bow on a woman whose looks already lean oh-so-innocent is that the accessory pushes just a little too hard, suggesting that maybe, deep down, there’s something sharp in that sweetness. I’m thinking Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Hepburn, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman.

“Songs for Christmas” began as a collection of Christmas albums indie musician Sufjan Stevens created every year as gifts for friends and family. Featuring traditional Christmas carols, Christian hymns and slightly apocalyptic original songs, the first five volumes were released as a CD box set in 2006. It’s been re-released this year for the first time on vinyl, along with Stevens’ previously unreleased song “Lonely Man of Winter.”

We don’t view this list as a hard-and-fast inventory of “must-do” chores. It simply reminds us of all our options.
