Modern Love will be back with brand new episodes in 2019, but today we're bringing you a playlist of our favorite holiday episodes.
So let's get started.
Remember that time you wanted your significant other to be more romantic?
Writer Cindy Shupack says, be careful what you wish for.
Pamela Adlon, star of the FX comedy series Better things, reads cindys essay in marriage beware of big boxes.
In any marriage, even the best marriage, there will come a day when you wonder why you married this person.
Its hard to fathom.
At your wedding, this handsome, tuxedoed man is publicly binding his life to yours and you think it would have to snow inside my house before I would ever feel anything but love for this man.
Well, it snowed inside my house.
I'm not saying that metaphorically.
I am telling you it snowed inside my house.
Because a few years ago, to kick off the holiday season, my husband Ian decided, even though we didn't have kids yet, even though I never said I missed snow, that I would enjoy a snow machine and it wasn't flaky snow.
Not that I would have enjoyed flaky snow, but Ian did admit later he thought it would be flaky.
