Gather 'round the open fire for Chimneyside Chats - a monthly feature with holiday stories from our favorite artists. See what's in their stockings this year as they reminisce on Christmas memories, share their favorite recipe and more! Here's what PUBLIC drummer Ben Lapps had to say: 

It’s unusual for me to be home for the entire holiday season. Usually I am on the road with the band for the weeks leading up to Christmas, but this year I get to enjoy all the classic Christmas activities at home with my wife, Phoebe, and our dog, Totoro! We’ll be watching Christmas movies by the fire, decorating the tree, drinking delicious eggnog and baking our absolute favorite Christmas cookies. Here’s the recipe for our favorite holiday treat! Enjoy!
