For many years, I’ve hosted an annual party.

I unabashedly love The Vine. I like advice columns in general but nobody that I’ve found takes the time that you do to create a thoughtful, real answer. Most advice columns are just little paragraphs …

My boyfriend wants me to take his last name when we get married. I don’t. We are at a stalemate.

I could use some help finding a YA series from you and your readers.

Readers! Sarah here. I need help with boot-stretching.

There’s a short story I read a few years ago that I cannot get out of my head. It was beautiful and haunting and stuck with me.

I’m hoping the Nation can help me with a jewelry search.

I am wondering if the Nation could help me out. My father loves a traditional fruitcake and I want to make one for him this holiday season.

Help! I’ve been searching desperately for a few years to find an old diffuser fragrance that was sold at Pier 1 Imports.

Welcome back to the Happy Hellidays iteration of The Vine — it’s all Ask The Readers and holiday etiquette from now ’til New Year’s.
