I follow a different religion, unable to celebrate Christmas. But I can't deny how amazing the Christmas vibes, colors, music, and literally everything else about it is absolutely magical. I don't think anyone would argue haha
Instead of celebrating Christmas, my family plays games, watch Christmas movies, watch the christmas lights, and have a Pajama party.
Last year I invited my friends for one and it was so fun. We painted and even watched the movie Frozen ❄️ (hoping to have another this year) <(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>

It makes me feel so festive when people have their Christmas lights and stuff up and I wish we did that kind of thing for all holidays, like went more all out for them yk? I think we need to invent more holidays in general, or make existing holidays more widespread, but that’s a different thing. I’ve noticed less and less people decorating the outsides of their houses each year, and I miss seeing even like paper garlands in windows or children’s drawings of Santa or whatever. Idk. Like I can see your lovely tree through your window, why not use those cool chalk pens to draw smthn on the window for me? xxx

I’m planning a last-minute holiday party, and it’s given me a new lease on life! The idea first emerged six days ago. It stewed in my brain and tomorrow I’m making it happen. There will be sparkly outfits, an exchange of favourite books, gingerbread decorating, mulled wine, and charcuterie.
I’m going to be real—this party is for me. Yeah, I want my friends to have a good time, mingle, etc. But I need this to preserve my own sanity. Planning gives me the chance to think creatively, do silly little tasks, and fight seasonal depression.
When I was younger I didn’t care for the holidays, but the older I get, the more I realise that I NEED to celebrate special occasions to the fullest. What else helps mark the days?

For a little while, like a few years ago, I started to get really cynical of Christmas, or the whole holiday season really. Mostly because of working in hospitality for several years and seeing the highs and devastating lows of humanity.
Even at my most cynical though, there'd be a time every so often where my heart would soften and enjoy the festive cheer and the feeling of happy anticipation this time of year brought out of folks. And now, this year . . . I don't know. I feel so hopeful, so easy. Lasy year was a wash because of so many reasons and though those same reasons still abound, I . . . I'm feeling good. Like there's something good coming around soon and I'm a little kid again, wondering when my presents will come under the tree.
So if you're feeling the same, if you're feeling like it's weird to feel so good right now, I wanna tell you to embrace this feeling. Don't reject goodness, it won't do you any favors. Just savor this glow inside you and enjoy the season. If you don't feel like this, don't stress it! Just don't reject your authentic feelings is all I'm saying.
And if you wanna really, properly enjoy this feeling, I made a Christmas Masterlist playlist on Youtube chock full of classic Xmas movies and songs. Enjoy!

This is an update from another post, asking what I should give a friend of mine for her birthday. Safe to say, I've found what to do!
Firstly, I DIYed a gift box for her- which I've done multiple times in the past. And the box looks perfect. I added some really pretty jewelry for her from OakSeason and some of her favorite candy.
Most of all, I've created a bookmark for her. She loves Lana Del Rey, so I made it sort of that kind of theme. I'm so happy with how everything turned out.
We went to a restaurant then the mall. It was so fun

I have so many thoughts in my brain, and I usually just write down a few on my notes app. But I don't know why I haven't considered just recording a voice message for myself as I speak my mind!
I've always wanted to have a YouTube channel and maybe this is the first step. Not only that, but my speech will improve by a lot. I could talk about topics on my mind, details, my day in general, things I've learned recently, an imaginary conversation, and so much more.
