fuck xmas tho, just some pr campaign to sell stuff, and before that, was just an excuse to pretend that it's about jesus when it's pretty clear in the bible that nailing trees to the floor and decorating them with baubles is retarded.
but that's quite apart from coming up from nothing and going somewhere. i'm still not with a family myself, and spent a lot of the last 12 years homeless in the cold too, but then maybe somehow that let me find God for real.
so, bless you and your family, and i hope your time off with them is rewarding for everyone. 🧡
