My family has traditions that we follow almost every year. We get a tree (we either go out in the mountains and tag and bag one ourselves, or try to find one in town on the lot), but it’s always gotta be a real one! This year’s was a mountain tree lol, they wanted $60 for one on the lot this year- uummmm, how about no 🤨.

We decorate the tree with the same ornaments that my parents have had since the dawn of time, and a few new ones that my mom bought when we were old enough not to destroy them when us kids would be rough housing ☠️.

We started having a charcuterie board dinner many years ago as a way to celebrate my uncle’s birthday, which falls on this month, and because my family likes to eat 🍴. So, we started having the dinner and decorating the tree on the same day.

We always open our presents on Christmas day, but we also exchange a few presents with our neighbors, as it’s a tight-knit, tiny community here. We will have to change our plans alittle this year because of COVID, but we’ll find a way to exchange presents safely.

That’s pretty much the whole of it 😆, sorry if this was kinda long lol. Christmas has always been special to us, but my family has seen loss and heartbreak over the years, and when my dad passed a few years ago, Christmas became even more meaningful- sobering, too, because of everything- but we’re stubborn people, and we try to enjoy ourselves and love one another.

Your plans sound like a Hallmark channel holiday movie when compared to mine. 🎄

A few years, it’s looked more like National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation lol :crazy_face:. I’ll never forget that time, we put our tree in the back of the pickup, and it blew out onto the highway on our way home. We named that tree Kevin 😆…

Keep warm, tinker with equipment, and having myself a year old can of pâté, cheese, and crackers.

If anyone genuinely finds that exciting, I’d be flabbergasted. 😉

pâté, cheese, and crackers.

Where’s the wine!!?? If you’re gonna get pate’, cheese, and crackers you NEED wine! :rofl:

(If you don’t like wine or simply don’t drink, please ignore this)

I would have a classic family function without COVID, I guess, but we are where we are. :roll_eyes: We’ll be at home and have different lunch courses for the first time in many years.

Anyways… just ordered some expensive headphones which will come on the 21st/22th, so I’ll have to test them out in the following days. If Carti also really drops Whole Lotta Red on the 25th, I’m throwing a listening party in my room. 😂

This said, the real deal will be January. I’ll renovate my room. Know which new bed, desk, wardrobe to get already and so on.

Wine and cheese is a mandatory Christmas thing.

I refuse to believe Santa exists until I have a glass of wine and some brie. Okay maybe a few glasses.
