My mother use to say: you are who you hang out with.  Man if this P Diddy shit doesn’t hit that nail on the head I don’t know what does!! Moral of the story: listen to your momma

The whirlwind that is December

Christmas is in full swing, and let's face it—it seems to start earlier every year. But honestly? Thank goodness, because one month just isn’t enough to cram in the avalanche of festive fun. The calendar is already spilling over with everything from gift exchanges to choir shows, baking marathons to the never-ending wrapping of oddly shaped presents.

We still have Santa’s visit to look forward to, along with a mug exchange, and an ornament swap, class parties with book exchanges, pajama day, ugly sweater day, staff parties with games and prizes, a magical Christmas train ride on the Polar Express, a Christmas Eve bash—not to mention glorious Christmas dinner.

Oh, and in the midst of this yuletide chaos, we’re celebrating not one, but two birthdays! The family patriarch will (happily) get his moment in the spotlight, while a newer member of the family gets to get more presents after Christmas!

It’s chaos sprinkled with joy, wrapped in laughter, and tied with a bow of exhaustion—but isn’t that what makes this season magical? Here's to the whirlwind that is December!

What you missed while you were busy “exploring life choices”

  1. The world moved on without you. People learned three new dances for TikTok, discovered a new non-dairy milk substitute (potato milk is apparently a thing now), and somehow decided cargo pants are back in style. Yes, cargo pants.
  2. Your plants didn’t. They’re officially auditioning for the role of “decorative twigs.” Bravo, truly. Strong performance.
  3. The rest of us mastered the art of “replying to emails within five business days” because adulthood, it turns out, is mostly a reality TV show where you pretend you have it all together. Fact check: none of us do.

But don’t worry, there’s still time to catch up. Just... maybe start with the plants. They’ve been through enough.
