We don't celebrate Xmas but we're doing it this year on a ridiculous whim bc my sister was like "what if we get a hot pink xmas tree" and me going "here's my credit card" so
And we haven't told my mom bc we thought it would be funny to surprise her bc she was like "what if we got a tree this year" after I already bought it so I did my best grinch impression like "NO. XMAS IS FUCKING STUPID. IN THIS HOUSE WE DO NOT FEED CORPORATE GREED." while my sister is in the backseat trying not to fucking laugh bc the tree is being delivered the next day so yeah we successfully got the package in the house without her knowing and last night we went to h***y l***y for decorations and my siblings and I were literally pissing our pants laughing at all the weird xmas shit and grabbing everything we liked and putting it in the cart while going "BIGFOOT ORNAMENT? IT'S IN THE MOVIE." like literally this:
Shout out to k&p for the gremlins 2 sketch bc LMFAOooOoo all the other customers/employees were like "👀 wtf is wrong with them/🤔are they actually making a movie" and then AND THEN. I SEE HIM
Hands down the most disturbing creature I've ever encountered. I was absolutely hysterical i couldn't stop laughing. My sister called him a curly toed weirdo. It's giving:
AND HE IS WEARING *PINK*???? HE MATCHES THE FUCKING TREE????
We almost passed out laughing i could not breathe. This little freak was EIGHTY DOLLARS??????? but all the xmas shit was on sale so he was 30 and we're like........ 👀are we.... 👀we're not....👀couldn't possibly... 👀but what if....
and i was like you know what. Commit to The Bit so guess what bitches?
He's in the movie. Say hello to my first born son 👨👩👦 Giuseppe Creeps👶🔪
(lil seppy for short)
this is us checking out I told the cashier "please be careful with my son" and she had to keep a straight face bc her manager was there but as we were walking away she whispered "have fun with your son" so I'm just spreading xmas cheer everywhere I go with this little freak. Idk how but he's going on the tree. He is In The Movie. He's the star of gremlins 2. I love him sfm. but when we got home I went straight to my mom with him on my shoulder like as a distraction while my siblings hid all the ornaments so my mom thinks this is the only thing we bought at the store (and we were there for over an hour):
So i walk in with him and WHEN MY MOM SAW HIM ON MY SHOULDER SHE FUCKING RECOILED AWAY FROM ME IN HORROR. FULLY LIKE:
IM SRS 100% THATS LITERALLY WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE and I againnn almost fucking diiiiiiied laughing I could not breathe
SHE ✨️F E A R S✨️ HIM and has no idea about the tree were gonna set it up today while she's running errands this is the best fucking christmas ive ever had

I’m dreaming of suggesting
in the strongest possible terms
that a white Christmas
get lost
Is tenderness legal
tender? As a child
I didn’t know everybody
was hurt
Tree branches and blood
vessels glisten with gifts
never opened
I’m scheming with
a brain stuck
on merry and bright
The meds kick in
like sleigh bells
packed with mud
Loneliness is my favorite
window to watch the snow from
the luxury of hell

Loads of people now make mixes of "unknown" Christmas tunes each year. Christmas Underground always makes my favorite, and his blog throughout the year chronicling his searches and finds (and disappointments) is always great reading.
But if you've never stepped into this world of indie Xmas mixes, his is an excellent, excellent place to start, especially if you grew up (like me) as a 90s "alternateen" thinking you were cool for listening to Pavement and Belle and Sebastian and whatever else was new and not on the radio at the time.

Coquette Christmas
🎀 to wear: pale pinks, baby blue, icy white, leg warmers, uggs with bows, sweaters with skirts, cable knit cardigans, cashmere scarves, earmuffs, mittens, pearl bobby pins, velvet scrunchies and bows, berets with pearls, sparkly earrings, pretty brooches on your winter coat, glossier birthday balm, becca pearl highlighter
🎀 bake heart shaped stained glass sugar cookies or gingerbread people with bows piped on <3
🎀 enjoy peppermint white hot chocolate with mini marshmallows while cuddled up under a blanket
🎀 read hans christian andersen fairytales
🎀 see a ballet like swan lake, the nutcracker, or gisele
🎀 visit the swans! in the northern hemisphere swans migraine during christmas so go to a canal or lake to watch then glide by
🎀 make your skincare routine different! skin tends to get drier in winter so use a richer moisturiser, do sheet masks (love lapcos sheet masks), use vaseline or a lip mask overnight (klavuu does a great one), put some glycerin or lotion on your feet and hands before putting on your socks and gloves, and remember to still wear spf! carry a good handcream and lip balm (fresh rose lip treatment is soo good) in case you feel dry while out. and obviously drink lots of water
🎀 ice-skate holding hands with someone special <3
🎀 light lots of candles! there are some great wintery scented one like gingerbread, frankincense, winter berry and mulled wine. I also like yankee's rainbow cookie in winter even though it's not strictly a winter scent. vanilla is always a good idea too
🎀 eat lots of marzipan, sugared rose petals, crystallised fruit, nougat, turkish delight, and caramelised nuts
🎀 practice self care with a warm bubble bath, a face mask, and a rich body lotion afterwards. put on silk pyjamas and fluffy socks that have been wrapped around a hot water bottle so they're already warm and cozy afterwards
🎀 to smell christmassy: layer scent by using a peppermint shower gel followed by a vanilla body lotion
🎀 decorate your space with figurines of swans, shepherdesses, angels, nutcrackers, and holiday barbies. and put bows on your xmas tree
🎀 watch: love actually, anastasia, little women, classic disney movies, white christmas, ice princess, harry potter and the sorcerer's stone, bridget jone's diary, barbie in the nutcracker, the chronicles of narnia, dead poets society, and any hallmark movie
🎀 write christmas cards in glitter pen and decorate with angel stickers and a spritz of vanilla perfume
🎀 to feel luxurious at night, spritz on some body spray, wear a flowing nightgown and do yourself in a clara style (half up with satin ribbon)
🎀 make snow angels!
🎀 make an emergency kit for those days when you come home miserable because of the cold and dark and have no energy, plans, and need some alone time. include things like a candle, a small box of good chocolates, some sheet masks, a perfume, your favourite tea, a book that comforts you, fluffy socks, a cozy blanket, paper and a pen to journal your thoughts, a photo album of your favourite people, old love letters, or anything else that you can easily keep at hand that will comfort you
🎀 listen to a pretty wintery playlist with genres like classical, jazz, and celtic/nordic traditional (mine is below <3)
