Hungover from a too good or too bad Christmas Eve 🥂🪅

Of course libraries aren’t open during the holidays, but a shoutout to everyone that has to work outside the house on any festive day. 🩵

I have restrained myself from using my favorite festive song in any post this month—🎵Christmas don’t be late🎵 by Alvin & The Chipmunks is the best, and I’d die on that hill.

(I’ll really never understand why my brain can’t handle the sound of someone munching next to me, but it’s perfectly fine with these high-pitched critters 🐿️🐿️🐿️)

Cutting paper garlands is witchcraft ❄️✂️❄️

Am I the only one that somehow always messes up what looks like a very simple paper garland cutout?

Anywho, the barn swallow’s flight paths are one million times more intricate and beautiful than any human-made papercut. I’m adding a pic of their chicks because they are the chonkiest, hungriest puffs 💙

Ptarmigan is a convoluted name for a ❄️snow partridge❄️, but they are incredible creatures—their plumage mimics the arctic rocky landscape covered in snow, and sadly, as it’s snowing less and less each year, they’re becoming easier to spot.

If you see one, please let her be—she might be trying to hide or rest after her luxurious trip to Saint Moritz.
