Holiday 2025 Notes

Christmas Day 2025 for me was a good one, being with my family. I am appreciative of everything I was given. We spent time together eating, exchanging gifts, and enjoying the day. It was a warm day, with temperatures that felt more like early spring.

Today, the missus and I had the day off. We spent it watching a marathon of Christmas movies. Scrooge, It’s A Wonderful Life, and White Christmas. Later on we will dive into Stranger Things.

We have seen all of these movies this holiday season. I would say my favorite is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, which is what we watch first every year.

To all who are celebrating Boxing Day, may it be one of good tidings, giving to those in need and peace.

Merry Christmas To You

Today Is Black Friday, A Big Shopping Day

Today is Black Friday, which is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. It has been traditionally a fight to the death for the best deals and bargains. There is fun to see what people have been able to get at the stores. With Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the like, Black Friday seems to have lost a little of its popularity.

But there is nothing like getting out and fighting crowds for some instant gratification. For some, it’s the thrill of the chase to get what they want. I hope the odds were ever in your favor if you went out this morning.

It’s Friday, Let’s Sparkle

Hello once again, Friday. My friends, may your Friday sparkle and shine and all that jazz. Let’s also have a great weekend ahead. Love and peace to us all.

Something About Burnout

I am burned out. I have been for a long time. Likewise, I imagine many of us are burned out on life. Here is a great graphic The Soup Diva shared on Facebook. This illustrates burnout in a very comprehensive way.
