With the holiday season comes one undeniable reality: you will have to brave the stores. One worthy draw to all the consumer madness, the debut of the Puma Lydia Bag which goes on sale Friday. Designed by modelista and publishing fortune heiress Lydia Hearst, the $125 bag is inspired by the brand’s French 77 Racket Bag and comes in a space-age asphalt grey with a stylized ruched racket holder. Nov. 30. Puma at 3101 PGA Blvd, Palm Beach Gardens (561) 776-8259

Why stay at home and cook when you can savor Legal's signature Baked Stuffed Lobster, which is a premium hard shell, cold water lobster that is baked and stuffed with shrimp, scallops and a buttery cracker stuffing. No need to fuss over leftovers and endless turkey sandwiches, as no crumbs will remain after this "Legal Holiday" feast, offered at market price, starting at about $45. This delicious entree ranges in size from a 1 ¼ - 1 ½ pound lobster to a multi-pound, noble catch prime for sharing on Thanksgiving.
The perfect holiday complement to the stuffed lobster is a Cranberry Bog Lemon Martini (cranberry sauce is so last week!) priced at $9.95, which is made with pure, fresh cranberry puree, Absolut Citron, zesty sour mix and a hint of bitters. Legal Sea Foods also has an award-winning wine list and Master of Wine Sandy Block suggests a Cakebread Chardonnay to pair with the big, buttery stuffed lobster catch.
