🍿 Full of mac ‘n cheese, in honor of Kevin’s meal during the movie. This is my Partner’s favorite movie, even after more than 30 years, it has reviewability. 🎄
★★★☆☆

Follow-Up: The IKEA Sonos speaker is working perfectly (which is more than I could ever say of the HomePod Mini stereo set up) this morning; holiday music is flooding the room whilst I’m debugging some legacy Java code. 🤓🎄 (Yes, I had a spare speaker lying around… 🤣) 📷

🍿 Tonight’s feature film was an old family favorite: Christmas Vacation. 🎄
★★★☆☆

🍿 Another favorite, tonight we watched White Christmas. 🎄

Currently Listening: A Holiday Carole by Carole King. 🎵🎄

First heard Carole on Gilmore Girls and then bought her compilation album at University. When I went home over the Holiday break and I was listening to it, my mother expressed shock because she listened to Carole when she was my age. 🤣

🍿 Kicking off the winter movie season with You’ve Got Mail, which is an old Holiday favorite of ours. 🎄

We put up the tree last night, with one of my favorite ornaments in a place of prominence. 🎄 We bought more than a few of these beauties in 2020, giving them to a number of Friends. 🤣 📷

🎵 Yes, I know it’s too early for holiday music but it’s been a rough year…and it’s Cher, so the rules don’t apply. 🏳️‍🌈

Bring on the holiday music! 🎄

🍿 As it’s Halloween, of course we’re watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. 🎃
★★★★☆

I suspect I’m going to start decorating for Christmas tomorrow; it’s been a rough year and I could use the extra “holiday” time. 🎄

Went to a hardware store last night (my Partner is ripping up the carpet and putting in new flooring) and as we walked in, we were assaulted with Christmas cheer. Given the past few weeks, I was digging it but a couple walked in after us and one of them was complaining it was too early for Christmas stuff. 🎄 I was inclined to disagree but I didn’t say anything…just smiled beneath my mask. 📷

📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 6: Well

Closest thing I could find in my photo library, this is a “well” of alcohol at a Holiday party back at University. 🎄🍾🥳 #mbsept

Every year part of the local Zoo is decorated with lights and Holiday cheer…and the past few years, my fella and I have made a point to stroll around.

It’s just one of our Holiday traditions, to wander around the lights, see the penguins, and share a hot chocolate.

Note: This post is from my old site and was ported over into Micro.Blog when I consolidated from two sites into one. All of the migrated posts can be found here.

Didn’t expect to enjoy Spirited to much but wow, that movie…lots and lots of sad but mostly happy tears. 🎥 What a great #holiday movie! 🎄

The Christmas village has been destroyed…it might be time to take it down, before further casualties are caused by the feline invasion.
