As we gear up for the holidays, it’s easy to reminisce on the past. So, I sat down for a few moments of nostalgia with the ever-busy Macy’s Culinary Council Chef Wolfgang Puck to dish on delicious holiday recipes, fatherhood and his favorite family traditions!

By now, most of you may have made your way to the local tree farm – or tree market, for those of you living in urban areas – to snag the perfect Christmas tree. But now that you have it in the house, what to put on it?! Well, why not get creative and deck out your conifer with edible embellishments? Gathered here, a few fast and easy ideas to help get you started. Note: Just be sure not to eat your décor before the holiday!

Most of my favorite ornaments are those that have been given to me, rather than those I purchase myself: I love to think of the backstory and the person I received it from as I deck out my tree each year!  So, as you make the holiday rounds this year, instead of bringing the host or hostess the obligatory bottle of wine, why not present them with a gorgeous keepsake they’ll cherish for years to come? Here, a few of my faves from Macy’s Holiday Lane.
