I won't lie. I'm pretty sure I equate watching Christmas movies and TV shows with actually doing something at Christmastime. For sure the experience conjures that Christmastime vibe for me.

This year, for whatever reason, Christmas movies and TV shows didn't make it into our Christmastime experience.

Full disclosure: we've been watching Big Bang Theory and The Diplomat. Don't know what to tell you. Our brains are just in that gear this season.

So.

What have we done???

Well, we managed our enduring tradition of mailing our friends and family this years' Collision-Ris Christmas cards along with the 411 on our year. The lovely thing about this tradition is that, for the time that I'm actually writing inside the Christmas card to a specific family, a specific friend, I'm actively thinking about them, about their year, and about our wishes for them in the New Year.

Kimmer's already got a bunch of Christmas baked goodies cooked. Therfore I've already got a bunch of Christmas baked goodies tasting done.

HUZZAH!

Interestingly, this season we picked up the morning habit of setting in motion a YouTube video of a Christmas village with sweet Christmas carols played on piano to soundtrack the beginning of our days. We both decided this year that "In The Bleak Midwinter" is one of our favorite Christmas carols now because of the BBC series "Ghosts". Without that framing, though, we'd never think a song with "bleak" in the title could possibly be a Christmas carol.

I don't know where Kimmer 'n Linzy are with their Christmas shopping... but I'm done as of today. Managed that over the last two-and-a-half weeks, accomplished through a combination of in-store and on-line shopping that did not make me crazy. (More on the specifics after Christmas 😉)

Blogging this month turned into a protracted meditation on Hope and what it means and takes to successfully and sustainably help people in need. Even all the different things "in need" can mean.

Charles Dickens and his book "A Christmas Carol" are on my mind every day as I pick through certain pages of that book for deeper dives.

During our days at home, I've got a coupla soundtracks going: a classic rock Christmas YouTube playlist and a playlist that contains only covers of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" that range from voice and acoustic guitar to full choir and orchestra.

As soon as lights and decorations went up outdoors and in stores this year, I started documenting them in photographs at thrift stores, neighborhoods, and downtowns.

We haven't listened to specific advent podcasts but our morning routine does include podcasts about faith and the implications of faith in the world.

I think our Christmas tree's been up for a weeks. Which is different 'cause we had our original, immortal tree that we bought from Target when Linzy was three... we had that tree up for twenty-two years, only taking it down (along with the tree in our apartment) when we moved back into the house earlier this year.

So yeah. For the first time in twenty-two years we actually had no Christmas tree in our house, lighted or decorated.

That first tree wound up with our friends at the local Value Village, hopefully for the beginning of some other family's Christmas traditions. We're using, instead, the tree from our apartment that's narrower and fits the space better.

And yeah.

We already know it's staying up.

No question about that. It looks perfect right where it is.

It makes our living room work.

So far, the new tree has a string of multicolored lights running up the trunk with at least two strings of white lights circling the tips of the branches, a compromise Kimmer 'n I settled on probably the first year of our marriage as her family was a white Christmas tree lights family and my family was a multicolored Christmas tree lights family. Not exactly the Hatfields and McCoys...

But still a thing to navigate.

Which we continue to do.

As for Christmas tree ornaments?

Yeah. Right now we're starting from scratch with at least three crates of ornaments representing different phases of our family Christmas tree aesthetic.

So.

Do we choose one of those?

Do we conjure something new?

Or do we fashion something in-between.

Three sleeps to go until Christmas Day... we're gonna figure that out right soon.

This recent Saturday, we set up lights around our living room window and around the French doors of our dining room french doors. Also put one set of mesh lights on the bush next to our front door and quickly realized that one is not enough. Too narrow. So it's supplemented with a random string of lights that, just as randomly, works.

Hand to God. I threw it on there... and the whole thing looks of a piece.

Sunday we strung icicle lights along the gutter from above our front door to the edge of the front face of our garage. Which means we no longer look like we're the only ones in the neighborhood NOT celebrating Christmastime.

One December tradition I don't always manage but sometimes I do... I managed this year a visit to the gravesite of my old neighborhood bible school teacher for whom I had not an ounce of respect when I was an A.D.D. grade school kid and for whom I developed a ton of respect as I, you know, grew up. She used to visit my parent's home this time of year to drop off a card and a gift for my birthday and Christmas... and then later when she couldn't get around so well I would walk the couple blocks to her home instead this time of year.

It's a habit, a tradition, that continues to this day (as I can), with flowers and a card at her gravesite.

So yeah. It's been Christmastime for us in a bunch of different ways that suit the season.

With three sleeps until Christmas, one sleep until my birthday, and New Year's just around the corner, the Christmastime vibe is gonna shoot up even more as we head into downtown Seattle tomorrow to do a bit of our own Christmas adventuring and photography which is a thing we used to do a ton with 35mm SLR cameras slung around our necks when we first started dating. Then it's Christmas Eve day and then literally Christmas Eve and then finally Christmas itself... all three days for which we already have plans across 'em. With peace, rest, and relaxation baked into those plans.

So with any luck...

It should be a lovely next few days.

Merry Christmas!
