Quick holiday related blog announcement!!!
As many of you know, especially if you’ve followed me for a long time, I love this time of year!!! At risk of being annoyingly repetitive (too late? 😂), cold weather is my favorite. I also love Halloween and, to a lesser extent, Thanksgiving (although we really need to make it into something different, because the history is horrific; I do however truly enjoy the idea of a holiday centered on being grateful). But I very specifically absolutely LIVE FOR Christmas.
I don’t know why, to be honest. I’m not close with my family (I mean, other than my brother which is relatively new and I don’t go see them — yet anyway), and I don’t really have one of my own (though I do consider the ex/roomie/bff to be family, and his kids are basically my step kids, especially the younger one since they live close to us). I don’t even really have in person friends (which is a whole other issue that I want to fix but it’s soooooo hard to so let’s leave it at that).
But, despite all this, I just LOVE Christmas. It makes me so happy; I feel enveloped in a pleasant nostalgia. Maybe it’s because, even though she was kinda shitty in a lot of ways, my mom always made Christmas magical. Like she went all out on stockings and presents and decorations and treats. It was incredible. But whatever it is, Christmas is my favorite — it’s the best time of the year!!!!
That said, I know many of you don’t like this holiday, for a variety of different reasons, all completely valid. So just know that I always try to tag accurately, so you can blacklist “christmas” and that should cover anything I post that’s holiday related. Love y’all so much ❤️
