Julia Millay Walsh | November 24, 2011 8:30 amWhile the holidays may bring peace, joy, and happiness, for partner-less people, the holidays can also be an unflinching reminder of your loneliness and failure to meet age-appropriate milestones. Finding a match ain't easy, and for a lot of reasons many of SF's busy, social people aren't even looking for one. So one smart, single, 28-year-old Mission dude came up with a work-around: a Craigslist ad titled, "WANTED: Holiday Girlfriend."Read More

Unless you envisioned spending next week fighting fellow shoppers for jars of pumpkin purée and French's fried onions, now's the time to order your pies, dinner rolls, and other dishes. Most grocery stores in the city are selling ready-made simple pies like pumpkin and pecan, but if you want something extra special — like roasted pumpkin with a chocolate crust or cranberry and pecan tart — or a traditional pie with more flavor, it's best to order from a bakery.Read More

If you're not feeling the frou frou either, then book a bungalow at Manka's Inverness Lodge, an Arts and Crafts-style getaway tucked away in the foggy forests near Tomales Bay.
