As a pagan, I have some funky ideas about Christmas. One of these funky ideas is that, well… I find traditional Christmas trees a little offensive. Or maybe “offensive” isn’t the right word, but I do catch a whiff of cultural/historical appropriation (not to mention a whiff of TACKY) from Christmas trees.
So this year, we covered my gorgeous houseplant in tinsel, Cousin It-Style. It works for us.
Merry Christmas, Blaaaaaawwwwg Readers. Catch you on the other side.

Merry Christmas to you, Connor and Michael, too!
Hope tomorrow runs smoothly for you. We spent years shuttling between divorced parents/grandparents/in-laws and I remember how tiring it all was.
That’s some “tree”!
As I say in my journal, I’m eager for this all to be over. I had an interview scheduled for Tuesday till my horse got sick and they called to reschedule, but I was ready to say, “Hey, hire me today & I’ll be glad to work xmas day!”
Instead, I’ll be exchanging “gifts” with friends and family, popping over for late-morning/early-afternoon time with one of my lovers, then back to my house to catch up with some friends, and hopefully–HOPEFULLY–I will survive it all intact.
I mean, it’s a day. How challenging can a day be? But I barely made it through today, and that was only dress rehearsal.
Merry…ah, Christmas, darling.
Merry late christmas!
