@fostermwolf yes! I adore #Christmas and I despise capitalism. My Christmas is full of homemade tree ornaments, homemade gifts for the people I really love (but no pressure— sometimes a homemade gift isn’t finished till January and everyone understands) , Christmas carols, Christmas cookies and treats, listening to Christmas audiobooks (secular, in my case). Here are some favs that i recorded

@fostermwolf The Dark is Rising is a marvelous fantasy story that takes place at midwinter. I always re-read at Christmastime

Oh! And Christmas movies! The Shop Around the Corner is a top fav. I have a hard drive full of Christmas movies.

Oh, and one-off tv specials, the schmaltzier the better. The B&W Judy Garland one from early 60s is *chef’s kiss* 🤣

I REALLY LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! 🥰🎄

@Kayray firstly, #amen (secularly)!

Second, you have no #idea how many #christmas/#holiday #songs #tvspecials and #movies my family and I watch starting "this #timeofyear" (in quotes because that may be the beginning of October...and it may be July 17th. It just depends when the #moodstrikes.)

If I ever figure out how to work #dms/how to #continue a #subtoot on the #mobileapp for #Android, I'd love to compare notes with you sometime! 🎅☃️🎄
