we're on the west coast of canada, so the time works pretty perfectly here. Glad it's a family friendly deal, since my little one gets home from daycare around 4:30. I'll have distractions, of course, but we should be tuned in.

The reply we got to the hol.iday card in cspam is pretty great. In case it was missed, a google voice number has been set up with a voicemail box to give CSPAM mods feedback. twoday has been splicing the calls together and posting them.

but for real she barely knows what TV is and on the occasion we bring out our small tv and show her sesame street or puffin rock or something, she watches about 20 minutes and then gets bored with it and wants to play or read. there's no way a feature length film would work. I honestly look forward to when we can watch some nice kids movies with her though, just not yet.

Oh boy, just one day before the Christ child comes and hides the children's presents under a blanket, as per the family tradition.
And then the goose and red cabbage!

hello friend


it's been an extremely weird holiday season, but i kind of think my niece is okay with having multiple small christmases spread out over weeks. i went to see my parents, but we were only able to do outdoor distanced stuff with my siblings and their families which meant a lot of opening presents outside in winter jackets and masks.

she unwrapped the unicorn statue i painted in glow in the dark sparkle paint and i heard her quietly say "you're the best" and that alone made this christmas great.

It took my little dude who is now an adult dude about 15 years to figure out TV. Now he still hates TV because it's boring, but he gets really into movies. Finally.

I loving love Puffin Rock though. That's good poo poo.

Ok. Is it less stupid than the magic bar thing? I'm prolly gonna do it regardless bc I need it for potential new job anyway (I'm tryna swing a consultancy).

uh i mean i like touch bar when you customize it properly so like it's really up to ur Tastes and Aesthetics. keyboard actually feels pretty good compared to the 2019 mbp 16" and 2017 mbp, both of which feel like doodoo or hot coals.

the big sell for the silicon / m1 stuff is that the integrated chip is a lot more power efficient. i only clobbered 50% of the battery after 3 days of steady use including youtubes and and yobbers and suchlike. id say get the pro bc of the fan.

i got the 13" and it's like the Right Size for shufflin about, ya feel?

Yup. Thasswhat I went with this time because the 15" is just too drat big.

The 2017 is hot garbage and we should never speak of it again. I literally sent mine back for a refund and kept the 2013 over that.

I am really glad my human child did not get exposed to baby shark. He did, unfortunately, get exposed to Teletubbies. A lot.

It was bad. It was very bad and no good and I hated every second of it.

I think at their heart a lot of the old carols and also 1940s crooner songs are actually very good songs, they've just gotten quite old with overplaying

Rockin around the xmas tree and run run rudolph are both extremely good imo

I only have excellent ideas
I think "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a really good song, if I heard it in a language I didn't know and there weren't sleigh bells and stuff I'd never guess it was a Christmas song, I'd just think it was a banger.

It's not really christmas music but handel's messiah is strongly linked to christmas for me and I love it and it makes me feel like christmas. tbh I'm not really religious but all the old traditional english carols with an organ/choir(god rest ye merry gentlemen, hark the herald angels, onc ein royal davids city etc etc etc) have a really strong place in my cultural/childhood memory that make me feel very :fluffy: and I love them.

the little drummer boy is ABSOLUTELY NOT on that list
