Not really sure what I want for Christmas but currently on my flight on the way to vacation! I'm so excited to be in warm weather and on a beach.

I've on the other hand had only two hours of sleep and I feel like shit lol

All I want is a day off, good food and family. I haven’t done any holiday shopping, it’s getting overrated. Maybe lazy but gift cards and essentials will be presents this year ☺️

Snow shovels. And quarter round trim so I can finally install some after pulling up all the carpet in our second and third floors MONTHS ago.

I'm getting my cousin a sampling of local coffee, where should I go to pick up a few bags at once? I was thinking Ellwood's?

I want the weather to cooperate and covid/flu to stay away so my folks can fly in on Christmas day.

And also world peace.

Social advice.

I'm worried my 12 y/o nephews dad is introducing him to manosphere bullshit. Anyone know how to counter it (as an aunt) when they're two states away?

18 yards of organic compost and a new wool sweater would be amazing - but the thing I’m looking forward to the most is having my kids and my extended family in the new house with us on Christmas morning. Cliche as hell but it’s really all I want this year.

Rest. I'll be getting a bit of that. I'll be in PR on a family trip with some of the people I love most though, so I'll settle for that!

Nothing really, I’m alright with what I have.

Making the long drive home from NY today. I am so not used to the cold up here anymore. Can’t wait to be back in Richmond where I can feel warm again.

I want my niece in law to finally have all of the holiday season where she doesn't have all day sickness and can stay out of the hospital until the actual time of delivery of Emmerson Elizabeth Wilson my mum's first great grandchild. I plan to call her EEW so she will be used to it before starting school in case that becomes something to tease her about.

Last year I told my family what I want: nothing but time with them. Results were mixed. This year I upped my game and responded to The Question with “I knew you were going to ask me this, so I put together a list with links for you…..”. [Commence applause.] “I‘ll send it as soon as I get your list.” To date, no one has seen my list.

I usually love Christmas and I’m trying to get in the spirit but my horse became suddenly ill last week and he didn’t make it, all I want is for that to have been a bad dream.

Snow on Christmas would be wonderful. I love the way it looks with all the lights

I remember seeing Two Chainz around the time this song was big. His set cracked me up because so many of his big hits were dependent on features, so each song he did was just his part. Like those old commercials for compilation cds that would just play snippets of songs

For some people to pay me the back rent owed so I can feel a little less financially stressed.

I knew when I covered it at the time that it was a possibility I’d never see it again, and I’m ok with those choices because two people were in a really bad spot and needed compassion over business acumen, but they have stated it’s coming my way and it would be a huge blessing to have that stress off of my heart and soul.

Whoever said money doesn’t buy happiness has never been poor, financial security is so fucking major to health and happiness.

Also I’d like a new pair of tennis shoes and a pair of jeans that don’t have worn holes in the seat or don’t fall down after two hours

My parents moved to Florida last year and my mom is stressed about Christmas because it’s “too cold here” now 😂. I had to remind her of the first year in the USA when my dad had us in Lakevale Minnesota for the winter of ‘96 and we had 12 feet of snow. From South Africa to that was too cold.

I send a list every year for me and my s/o and keep a notes app on my phone with a running list of things mentioned by friends and family so I can always have a gift idea ready. My sister sent us hers for her and her husband and it says “ivf support and T shirts that aren’t just plain black. (Apparently we get him the same kind every year)😂) not a lot to go on this year

Was thinking of giving my fiance a staycation at the Jefferson for a couple of nights in January... anyone done that? Have never stayed there, is it worth it or is there another hotel I should look at? She loves fancy hotels and likes the idea of getting away from the pets and the mess for a weekend.

I lost mine last summer, I did the expedited replacement and I think I got it back in about 6 weeks from sending in the forms at the post office. If you're under 8 weeks out I'd consider going to the DC passport office to get it same day if you can't find it, it's a pain for sure.

Oof that's a shame, at 12 years old too damn.

No idea how often you see them or what kind of relationship you have with their parents, pretty tough to exert influence from afar though besides the other suggestion of sending them books and maintaining a positive influence as much as you can

I definitely keep a “me” running list. It includes cafe lights for my porch, wreath supplies, and Harry Potter Illustrated books 4 & 5. I will happily buy presents for family that sends me a wish list and I do buy things during the year that scream so-and-so needs this item. But I’m not buying random shit just to surprise people with random shit.

Do you know why that realm might have so much salience with your nephew’s dad(brother (in-law?)?)? Knowing that probably would help yield a more effective strategy.

What interests has your nephew ever displayed?

Does anyone have a pro con on getting a membership to Maymont or Lewis Ginter. I live in the fan so go to Maymont more but lewis Ginter is less free.

They are both in the horticultural society so I think if you get one you get admission to both for free.

Edit: maybe they are both enforcing the 90 mile exclusion clause and so I would need both.

Could you invite the kid out for a solo visit, or solo vacation? Maybe under the guise of giving the parents a break. And then you can subtlety or not subtlety talk about stuff.

They 100% enforce the exclusion clause, sadly.

I just finished. It's a god-damned travesty—a seven-page paper in which I had to rush the point because I was running out of time, but it's done . . .

I hope I get at least a 72%—that's all I need for an 'A'.
