Especially around this time of year. I try to enjoy the holiday time off in what ever way feels right to me.

This year I didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving with family. Instead my partner and I stayed home, made a simple meal together, and had a quiet evening gaming.

I worked in retail for about a decade, so my associations with Christmas are less joyful than the average person. I don’t do any obligation gift giving, which has irritated people, but that’s fine.

I have found I enjoy celebrating anniversaries/holidays that are important to me in some way, even if it’s not what others do - like my own traditions celebrated in ways that feel meaningful to me.

Oh It Takes Two is a good one! Played it with my partner a while back and had a great time!

I had no idea. Thanks for tip! Definitely going to look into it!

Zerowater. It’s alright. I like the taste, but the replacement filters are pretty expensive.

We had some construction a few years back where they replaced the water pipes across our area of the city. For about two years while the project was going on, our water would randomly turn brown or orange for days… we used to drink straight tap water, but not any more.

Yep. Not even going to try and deny it. I know I am because sometimes I reach for it and start scrolling without even realizing that I’m doing it.

The only holiday I decorate for is Halloween. We put a few things up indoors every year and our front yard decorations are slowly growing with pumpkin and haunted garden themed items. I like to put purple and orange solar lights out too. Otherwise we don’t celebrate any other holidays by decorating. I do leave any general fall stuff out through Thanksgiving, but it’s more just Halloween leftovers.

Tomatoes or mushrooms. Both were a texture thing. I made some diet changes as an adult, so I’m not sure if that helped in changing my opinion, but now I’m fine with mushrooms and grow tomatoes in my garden every year!

12 mini for me too, for the same reason. Hopefully the trend will reverse and smaller phones will become more popular.
