Apparently New Hampshire ranks #1 in Christmas spirit amongst The States.

The latest data is from 2022, which clearly isn't reflecting the fact that for the first time in the 14 years I've lived in this house, I actually have a proper Christmas tree this year. My girlfriend wanted one, so I got one for her.

We're actually planning on making decorations for it. As in, I'll be showing her how to use the bandsaw to cut various shapes out of 3mm Baltic birch plywood, and then they'll be painted.

There is a baby buried by my father in law that we have been bringing things for including a solar powered sunflower 🌻 light pointed at her stone so she has a night light. We had noticed no one was checking on her. Yesterday we were visiting family and her and her grave still had the light from us there as well as a bunch of new decorations! So glad to see someone else paying her some attention 💕

Relatives are gone. They ate everything, even the table decorations. Chanukah is next, so I'll return the favor at one of their homes!
