Went for the first time last year, definitely going to try to make it a tradition with my wife.

Krampusnacht!!! Specifically the walk through Carytown, definitely go watch!

Hold your breath & walk briskly from one side of the room to the other & back. Then breathe. It clears your nose but only very briefly /: but if the pressure gets too much, a minute of relief may be better than none?

I love Libbie Mill library, but it's not open til the afternoon on Sundays.

Side note, who wants to join me in my petition to have the libraries open normal hours on the weekends?!

I too am pretending that this rain is the only thing keeping me from my really ambitious plans to go and do squats for 2 hours.

The past two nights I’ve been helping out as a vendor at KD’s Winterfest and I gotta say it’s pretty neat. Tons of lights, music, characters, hot drinks and warm treats. They do a great job with the atmosphere. It’s a lot more fun than I expected. I’m excited to go check it all out when we’re not working.

Study day since got license renewal coming up. Any study spot suggestions? I usually hit the vcu library or brewers (not anymore), need some new spots !

Why is that? Ugly sweaters?

Last year I made a divisive post about going to At Home during the holiday season. I’m trying to avoid that store until after I get my Charlie Brown Christmas tree fully decorated because buying pink ornaments > my willpower to keep my home pink-free.

That was slaughterama, not best friend's day.

Me too!!

My trash is collected once a week, my recycling every two weeks. For my household this is backwards. We can fill our recycling bin in a week, but our trashcan generally takes two or three to fill.

Does this match anyone else's experience?

Kinda bummed about the rain, I liked pretending I'd bike to get coffee this morning.

Am also sick (not covid) and it is not a good time. I wonder how my body can produce this much snot. I'm on Day 3 of feeling bad. I'm grateful it has not thus far turned into a terrible cough as I already had an 8 week covid cough once this year.

Staying inside. Cooking and watching football

Every year we drive through that one street in Walton Park (Midlothian) where almost all the houses have tacky lights. Just went last night! It’s nice with kids bc you don’t even have to get out of the car. Also the Tacky Lights Tour in general.

Lewis Ginter is nice to go to every few years. It’s time for me to go again because last time several years ago we forgot snacks and my kid had a meltdown and we had to leave early. Don’t have kids.

This isn’t cool or insider at all, but I love walking around Short Pump mall around Christmas.

Quite honestly, I don’t like the holidays that much. I know I should, but it’s a time of year that brings up unpleasant memories for me. That said, my neighbors are taking about wanting to do a tuk-tuk tacky light tour this year. Maybe that’ll be fun.

Samesies. For a change of scenery, I check out a different box of tissues in a different room.

I stood in the shower for at least half an hour this morning as well. Still feel like hell

Hey thanks!

I've got extra robes. Nicest ones from all types of hotels.

Same. I've tried a steamy shower, decongestants, standing on my head. I am in so much pain from the sinus pressure. Someone please put me out of my misery

Going to try your suggestion now I'll report back later
