If you need a little break after the festivities of Thanksgiving and hunting for sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, check out my favorite procrastination links from around the web this week…

• Happy Holidays! My rant about a story in the NYTimes Food Section generated a lot of responses. (Click through for the whole scoop.)

• Bet you a million bucks you'll love this Lego stop motion of all your favorite holiday films.

• He doesn't know it yet but my super talented and crafty friend Patrick is going to help me figure out how to make these large scale papier mache leaves.

• I'm pretty green over this mother and son antique shop.

• "The Great Wave off Kanagawa": Painted three times, it is no surprise that the version painted at the age of 72 proved to be Hokusai’s most successful—especially in the context of the artist’s own assessment of his art. “From the time I was six, I was in the habit of sketching things I saw around me,” he said. “Around the age of 50, I began to work in earnest, producing numerous designs. It was not until my 70th year, however, that I produced anything of significance.”

• Vintage floats in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

• Designer Tom Scheerer's Manhattan office, which he admits was totally pirated from Josef Frank. It's marvelous!

• A bird’s eye view of a sheep dog at work: (Thank you Marjorie!)

• My friend Tina and her family are traveling in India. Maybe they’ve had some bumpy moments (adult kids + strong opinions) but it all looks glorious. Tina is very skilled with her phone camera. And she notices everything. (I'm following her hashtag, #TheSmithsGoToIndia.)

• I need to visit this restaurant.

• Antiques of the Week: This bamboo ring should go on your Christmas list. Celestial jewelry with a masculine vibe that I really like.
