Welcome to my bi-weekly column, where I'll bring you conversations with well-known personalities sharing their rituals, routines, and experiences on this ride called parenthood. [Grace Bastidas, Editor-In-Chief]( Even though Jimmy Fallon isn't ready for summer to end, he's all in for the holidays—all of them. His new children's book, 5 More Sleeps 'Til Halloween, about a boy waiting for trick-or-treat night, is out this week and dedicated to a childhood neighbor who would dole out full-size candy bars on Halloween. He's a regular performer at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And in a few months he'll drop a holiday album full of epic collaborations (Ariana Grande! Jonas Brothers! Dolly Parton!). Just hearing about all the projects he's lined up is enough to make anyone daydream about a long winter's nap! But at nearly 50 years old, The Tonight Show host keeps pushing for more. His inspiration? Daughters Winnie, 11, and Frances, 9. "I used to work hard on my career for myself. Now it's about my kids. I want to show them that they can be as creative as I am and enjoy the process," he says. "Don't do it for money. Don't do it for praise. Do it because you like it and you'll be happy for the rest of your life." "Amen!" I tell him. But Jimmy isn't trying to be preachy. He just wants his children, your children, and everyone in his orbit to have fun.
