NOVEMBER RECAP: From Boo-tiful Chaos to Holiday Magic Madness

November has my heart...and my stomach full. #grateful

November… WHAT. A. RIDE.


If October was insanely scary (I’m still recovering from spooky season and pumpkin-spice trauma), November was the deep breath I didn’t know I needed… followed immediately by a sprint straight into holiday madness.


Let’s rewind the chaos.


We Started With Christmas Nostalgia… and Then Chaos Took the Wheel


Jamie and I kicked off the month at the Home Alone 35th Anniversary Event at Disney Studios — yes, thirty-five years.

THIRTY. FIVE. YEARS.

Cue my full Kevin McCallister moment:

“AHHHHHH! I’m old!!!”


Home Alone is still my favorite Christmas movie, and I will defend that forever.


Then, with zero cooldown time, we sped to San Diego for a wedding magic experience, cheering the Dodgers through Game 7 of the World Series on the drive like two over-caffeinated parents.


From Turning 5 to Raising Awareness


Next stop: Lukas’ 5th birthday in Apple Valley, where kids react to magic like they’ve just witnessed the discovery of electricity.


Then came one of the greatest honors of the month: performing at a Teen Cancer Awareness event at an outdoor ice skating rink in Santa Monica.

Did I skate?

Absolutely not.

I like my ankles right where they are — functioning.


Disney Adults, Assemble — Including DAPPER DAY


Of course, we squeezed in some Disneyland time because Jamie and I are proudly those “Disney adults” they warn you about.


And one of those visits was extra special — Dapper Day.


I actually put away the purple suit and went full Hercules-inspired outfit, while the beautiful Jamie rocked a Hercules-inspired look of her own.

It’s honestly my favorite time of the year besides Christmas — classy, fun, and filled with people who dress like there’s a red carpet on Main Street.


Hollywood Nights & Seniors with Savage Honesty


Later in the month I headed to the iconic Hollywood & Vine for Jenny’s birthday at LP Vinyl Bar — a retro, swingy night where everyone looked so sharp I started questioning if my purple suit needed a stylist.


Then off to Victorville for the wonderful seniors at PACE HD, who always bring the love and the realness.

They’ll enjoy the magic, smile… and then immediately challenge me like:

“Okay, now do something harder.”

Seniors don’t play. I love them.


Thanksgiving Marathon: Friends, Food, Family & Back-to-Back Shows


The end of the month went full “hold my turkey leg”:


Friendsgiving in Irvine

Friendsgiving in Westminster

Wedding in Santa Ana

Two nights at the Magic Castle

Pi Kappa Photo event

A birthday show in La Jolla


And somewhere between all of that… I inhaled turkey stuffing and my family-famous mac and cheese.


November was chaotic, beautiful, exhausting, and full of blessings.

This 2025 journey has already been magic — and we’re just warming up.
