I have complicated feelings about my parents, but something I completely unequivocally enjoy about my family (or, let's be honest, mostly my mom) is the whimsical zaniness that tends to come out on Christmas morning.

A representative selection of items in my stocking today: a two-bottle pack of over-the-counter antihistamines, a USB light made to look like a spacewalking astronaut, a jar of olives, and a stress ball shaped like a tardigrade  XD

In only tangentially related news, my New Year's Resolution is going to be never start a picot shawl bind-off at 11 PM on Christmas Eve ever again.  (I finished it!  At 5 AM.  And presented it to my mother un-blocked, but then blocked it this evening.)

Happy Various December Observances for those who celebrate them!
