    As much as we love the holiday season and all that comes with it, sometimes we need a break from all of the festivities.

     

    After spending a day cooking, cleaning, setting tables, sharing gifts and feeding the entire family, we could all use a break from the holidays. So give thanks for this list of completely non-holiday related events that will get you out of the house (and away from the family) - for at least for a few hours!

     

    Check out our picks below for those who need a post-kitchen duty drink or just plain don't feel the holiday spirit this year!
