Holiday 🎄 The RSS feed for Holiday 🎄.

  • 🍿 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. 🎄
    ★★★☆☆

    Alternative movie poster for Home Alone

  • 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… 🤣) 📷

    Christmas tree with lights and one ornament at the top (a photo frame with no photo for privacy purposes), in front of a record player, with the end of a lamp on the right side of the photo. An IKEA Sonos speaker is on top of the record player, with an 'Ella' record in the middle and a series of objects is on the left side of the record player: three Nintendo amiibo figures (Link, Bowser, and Bokoblin), a Lego penguin, a Jesus stature, and a N64 Lego cube. On top of the cube is a HomePod mini, along with two of the amiibo, and a dried pink rose.

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

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

    Album art for 'A Holiday Carole'

    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. 🎄

    Modified movie poster for You’ve Got Mail, with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

  • 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. 🎃
    ★★★★☆

    Jack Skeleton looks at a giant snowflake he's holding in his hand, a screen grab from the movie 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. 🎄

  • It's too early for this, right?

    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

    Big bucket of red liquid in the foreground, with a person directly behind it (their face has been replaced with a smile emoticon) in a white shirt, with another person in the background; a white Christmas tree, with lights, is in the background behind the second person.

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

  • Holiday Lights at the Zoo

    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.

    Bridge next to a lake, under some trees, with Christmas (fairy) lights along the railing and other holiday lights reflected in the water

    Pretty night for a walk by the lake

    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.
