Life Behind Bars
There are several things you should allow yourself to do during this cold and soggy holiday month. You should allow yourself a weight gain of three to five pounds. You should wear Bill Cosby-style sweaters and nothing else. (Okay, put on some socks. And pants. Jeez.) And above all, no matter how resolute a gin, bourbon or beer drinker you may be, you should put the hardcore stuff aside and have one of the sweet (and, in many cases, hot) holiday cocktails that are currently being mixed at some of your favorite local bars and restaurants.

Holiday 2007
Ballard's latest and greatest concept in shopping is Pulp Lab, a small, gallerylike space that hosts limited-run shopping events. At any given time, Pulp Lab may showcase sale items from local boutiques, artwork, clothing and jewelry from independent designers, or any other cool consumable that strikes the proprietors' fancy.
