UghhhhhHHHHH 😍 (shut up I'll straighten them later)
Also if anyone knows the artists on the Medusa and the orangey moon goddess, I got those at Anime Boston years ago and have no damn idea who they're by anymore.

Dammit, I just heard a version of Carol of the Bells that I really liked and then realized it's fucking Lindsey Stirling when I looked it up. 🙄

When you click the profile of a dude starting trouble on the internet in that shitty fake "defending women from patriarchal standards means MAKEUP BAD" kind of way, and see that his pinned post is him looking for work.

You know, I've never really sat down and watched Miracle on 34th Street (1994) that I can remember. I catch it on TV here and there in bits.
I put it on while I was putting my Christmas lights up in my room and the scene with Santa signing with the deaf girl is really very sweet. 🥹

Took a nap
Had dreams that my family was all together somewhere not at my house and we lost my niece and eventually found her
Then woke up when we were all saying goodbye and crying

Buy a fresh turkey.
Spatchcock it and let it rest after you cook it.
Total time 4 hours max even for a 20+ pounder. 2-2.5 to cook, 45 minutes to rest. Did this twice last week. Totally moist bird with no brining.

He's not wrong, really. Seasonal food items are seasonal because they aren't good enough to be regular food. Roasting a turkey is a week long process and it's never as good as chicken. If it was socially acceptable to order pizza for Thanksgiving the whole holiday menu would go extinct.
JD Vance doesn’t know how to not be weird in any given situation.

I am really just in "Clark Griswold at the end of Christmas Vacation" levels of post-holiday "I did it" bliss here. Gosh.

Good thing my sister went home and I get my own bed back, since Romeo decided to take his messy poop butt UP ON THE BED I'VE SLEPT IN THE LAST TWO NIGHTS AND LEAVE SKIDMARKS ON THE SHEETS before THROWING UP A HAIRBALL ON MY PILE OF CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR IN THERE

I like to give businesses that have short names long names.
Like Fat Johnny's becomes Chubby Jonathan's.
Aroma Joe's becomes Stinky Joseph's.

Failed at breakfast because my niece got up at 5:15 apparently 😂 so they got up and had cereal. But I did sleep better so that's good!
Really hope that after this very excellent couple of days, I can get some sleep tonight. PLS COOPERATE, CATS.
Plan tomorrow is breakfast for family, quick shelter shift, see family off, maybe help with wreaths but also possibly just RELAX (and finish dishes).

Mom just went to leave, thanked us for hosting. Paused, turned.
"Oh and...I'm sorry about Grammy."
She doesn't see her as often and it's clearly so obvious about how poorly she's doing. Ahhhh mom :(

It is not too late. If you haven’t done so yet, you may now put your turkey in the fridge to thaw.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Tonight is when you want to put your frozen turkey in the fridge to thaw.
