It turns out that ADD can be a whole personality.
SIL's family did a cookie house decorating party and texted the family group chat to ask for us to vote on a winner. The contestants were
1. A chalet
2. Twin Towers in between planes
3. Titanic pre iceberg
4. Apollo 10
Turns out I'm constitutionally incapable of making light of 9/11 so chalet wins

Trying to buy a kids helmet online and I wish I could sort by age of seller company. I want a company with a track record of safety that's accountable to government safety regs, not some keyboard-smash name that joined the market to capitalize on Amazon's low barrier to entry.

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

remember, if you have a winter cold, eat more clementines than it seems like you really should, and then eat a couple more. it will make you feel better, not in the sense of health, but just in the sense of "clementines are so good and eating them is great"

Is a gunkless, slightly swollen and painful eye a doctor thing or a wait-for-it-to-go-away thing?

Happy December! Here's a waterfall I visited recently. The water in the bowl seemed black (because of a silt-like algae coating everything) and it was VERY cool looking

Oh, boy. We're doing pleated trousers again for real for real 😭
I would like to buy ultra high waisted linen trousers ("snatched"?) that do not have an elastic waist band. Anybody have a brand to recommend?

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

My dad just referenced Diehard in the family chat and I shouldn't be shocked that he's seen it but also how have I not seen it if he has??
He let us watch all manner of inappropriate movies!

The big Christmas concert went off without a hitch! Thank goodness. Such a relief.
There were 564 in attendance with ~117 singing the final number in the round and it was beautiful 🥰

I want to be the type of person who uses Souper cubes but I hate how silicone picks up flavors and then imparts them to other things.
Also I would need to be on top of cooking 😅

14yo was bored by White Christmas a few years ago and is vehemently arguing against watching tonight. I told him to just be quiet and enjoy Bing Crosby's voice!
His first utterance upon hearing said voice? "Ugly."
🙄 I'll enjoy it enough for the both of us!

Dinner tonight is as delicious as it is ugly: bacon, onions, and potatoes fried together (covered) until there are little almost-burned bits
