Kiddo is literally camped out in the laundry room with her basket of clothes so she can get the next round. Tired of carrying it up and down the stairs, and the elevator is also out of order. Sighhh.

It's definitely way better than the "quick and easy" penguin I tried to crochet today. Check this guy out, I am dying laughing at how awful it turned out, I love him so much! 😂😂😂

I only put the tree up, and the outside lights and stuff. I don't have any other decorations up this year 😬
It just doesn't feel like Christmas. It's weird. I want to love the holiday again, but.. I dunno. Maybe next year.

I think I can just strip the lights from this one, it looks like they're clipped on. Then I'll just buy some strings of lights for next year. I'm mostly just bitching because so many people just toss them and buy new, as the alternative is too time consuming, which is what these companies bank on.

Thanks for coming to my mini rant. 😂

One of the draws of artificial trees used to be that they could be used year after year, but like the majority of companies, "build to last" has turned into "built to fail".
Companies don't give a shit about the longevity of their product, they care about profits.

Totally understand the fire hazard worry of dried out real trees. But lights have come a long way, and the LED strings don't really heat up like the lights of my childhood. The risk isn't as high as in years before.

Got my pick up order from Walmart. Holy windy. Power can go out now, I've got snacks 😂

If you've never experienced lactose intolerance pain and needing to go so badly that if you even breathe wrong you're in danger.. count yourself lucky in at least this area 😭😂 (I safely made it in time, but the journey there was awful)

They were really great! Now here's hoping for nothing major to pop up for at least 2 years.

Y'all, I am TIRED. Cannot afford another rental at 500 a week. The well is dry. And Christmas is in less than 2 weeks. Oi.
