I did all my Boxing Day surprise shopping by scouring the existing discount tables at my fave shops while finishing up the actual Christmas shopping. Sure, I missed out on a couple of actual sales, but there is no way I'm leaving the house today! zzzzzzzzz

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you:
Take a moment to really see the older people in your life.
Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible.
Share a smile with an elder you don’t know.
Offer a warm holiday greeting.
Small gestures carry enormous power.
Love,
Lynda 🎄✨

21. Please learn the difference between story, narrative design, and dialog:
STORY is a unit of measurement for buildings
NARRATIVE DESIGN is undefinable and anyone who claims otherwise is trying to sell you something
DIALOG is probably a dark/grass type pokemon in some rom hack somewhere
