for Thanksgiving we had Brian's coworker who came here all the way from Bangladesh and another friend who fell in love in Madagascar, got married and came back the US with his wife, both have no family in America, so it felt extra special to share a fancy holiday dinner with them for their first experience.

yeah! nothing more heartwarming than someone shyly trying new things and their face lighting up when they take a taste and suddenly want seconds. this was the best our pie and Turkey has ever come out too

i had to let my art blog languish for a week due to putting everything of the current project away to clean for the company but i want to restart it this week after i recover. supposedly I'll only need a day or so to get back on my feet

i won't lie I'm sorely tempted to finally get an ipad. i think changing up my workflow with a different type of tablet (right now its just my desktop) will really improve my productivity and they're pretty affordable right now through my work. I've just always been taught to never spend money on yourself during the holidays so i keep feeling bad |D

Gift anxiety always gets me too, which is why I am infamous in my family for giftcards

what I do is give a giftcard with an 'idea' I had. So it shows I thought, but couldn't commit

(and thus they can also get something else too in case they changed their vibes or w/e)\

ooh yeah, that's not a bad plan. I've curbed it in sometime by shopping just intermittently throughout the year to get a small stash started but my husband's birthday is the 22nd so i have to always make sure i get extra for that too

boooo mum was supposed to bring our tree and decor back when she visited (we couldnt fit in in the moving truck when we left state) but all she left was a tub of broken branches that weren't even ours. which means our decor is long lost and we probably won't be getting back it before Christmas

i know its just a tree and knicknacks but maaaaan. i made a whole big thing about it being our first tree bought together as adults and starting our own collection of traditional bits and bobs that were distinctly ours and not just stuff handed down from our families to add to each year
