Stuffed

The 2009 City Paper Holiday Guide

We've never dealt with the aftermath of a house fire or a major flood or catastrophic storm damage (knock wood), but we've always been struck by something we've heard people who have had their homes destroyed say resignedly, even gratefully: "It's just stuff." We kept thinking about those words when it came time to work on City Paper's Holiday Guide for 2009.
