The bitcoin machine and the banjoleles obviously go in the same room. It's the b room, clearly.

Yes, yes, as is the natural order of things

Is this what people mean by "ominous music"?

I had assumed it was the bag for the mattress, but in the spirit of the occasion, this does seem far more likely

Also the lack of blinds on the skylight meaning early awakening (although I'm up in Scotland so the sun doesn't rise until about 9 at this time of year anyway!)

I'm a little concerned about those PJ bottoms. Was somebody Raptured? Does that mean you get to keep all the stocking gifts? 🎁

Thank you for saying this! I saw somebody complaining that it's snide and ungrateful and I really don't think they get the spirit of the thing at all... It's not about making fun of people, it's about sharing generosity and genuineness as we are, rather than aspiring to impossible perfections.

The wallpaper full of drawers is giving me The Anxiety 😅 I'd spend the whole evening on a quest to find the one secret real drawer!

It's very charming. Though I would be terrified to move in there 📚📚📚📚📚
