Thank you! Feeling much less Scroogy about our super simple Christmas. Our “tree” is now some lovely branches from a red twig dogwood that stays in the living room year round. Our presents to each other are travel. And meals are just a little more fancy than normal if company is coming. Calma! I think I will enjoy our first trip to Portugal this spring, this year’s Christmas present to ourselves.
I had the same experience visiting my in-laws in Texas for the first time! Not only were we on the mimosas by 10 am (I can't say I was against that); they also had the fire lit and the Aircon blasting at the same time 😆😭

My mum does the branch tree thing and it's beautiful!
