This tree and the jukebox are the first Christmas decorations I've bought for myself, and constitute the extent of the decorations that are out for the holiday. The fireplace is a wax warmer and isn't Christmas specific.

Meanwhile, the marital home has boxes and boxes of Christmas stuff at the marital home…all of which was purchased by the ex or made by the children at various points of their lives. And it's a multi-week process to get everything put out and then put away. My decorations take…maybe five minutes total to put them out and then put them away.

Simplicity.

It’s not truly Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi Tower.

It’s not even Christmas yet and I’m having the best holiday ever…

I actually ended up getting TWO new iPhones this week: a 14 Plus (for work) and a 14 Pro (not max) for personal use. The screenshot was from the Plus (has same screen size as max).

So far so good. Either way, the iPhone SE screen size isn’t nearly as good a fit as I thought it would be when I bought it.

Who knew the coldest temperature I’ve ever been in (-4F / -20C) would happen in Tennessee.
