Merry Christmas to all, but especially those who are masking hard, hanging on by a thread, gifting smiles that don't reach their eyes (for the sake of the kids) or just numbing out.

Merry Christmas to all, but especially to y'all whose grief and loss is thrown into stark relief over the holidays.

Merry Christmas to all, but especially to y'all whose close family are awful people and you're somehow suffering through the slings and arrows of their outrageous bullshit with grace and kindness.

This song goes out to anyone braving an unsafe place they once called 'home' for the holidays.
"You're not failing, you're feeling,
and you aren't staying, but you're not fleeing,
And if it's hurting, you're healing, so take it home."
Stay true to yourself. You've got this.
"You're not failing, you're feeling,
and you aren't staying, but you're not fleeing,
And if it's hurting, you're healing, so take it home."
Stay true to yourself. You've got this.

Ah, I didn't think to check 😊
£1.44!
That is not a lot of money for a game I still return to four years after I got it.
(But if it's in your budget, you can also go to itch.io and give the devs a little more for it.)

Play a very cute advent calendar with your kids, or your pets, or just by yourself, for free! ♥️
I also highly recommend Imaginary Friends' game Shindig. It's short and cosy and wonderful and perfect for those times when you need a bit of warmth and hope.

I watched National Lampoon's Xmas Vacation for the first time and, yeeeah, that's not my Christmas movie.
Now onto Polar Express, which is engaging at least, and has an absolutely banging soundtrack.

Look, I *know* the lyric is "critical smash palme d'or" but I often hear it as "critical smash ponder orb", and it makes me giggle.

This week's acoustic cover is that breathtaking duet from KPop Demon Hunters...but it's just me, not sexy demons.
I am ridiculously proud of it though. Would love if you'd take a listen.

I maintain that, if you're inclined to switch, changing the lyric to 'you cheap lousy blackguard' is better than 'you're cheap and you're haggard'.

Damn. RIP to a legend. Rob Reiner directed some of my favourite movies, and simply had immaculate vibes. He will be missed.

Thanks to the sugar tax for making things that used to be nice just taste like sweeteners now.
I like sweeteners fine, but my sense memory of Shloer doesn't taste like whatever this is.

This week's cover is one of my favourite songs of recent years, with a few layered vocals to really bring out that sublime scream 🧡

Daaaamn, the bit at the end of What It Sounds Like where the Hunter's Mantra comes in is so moving and beautiful.
Having listened to the banging soundtrack a thousand times, I may have to watch KPop Demon Hunters again...

Joined by my sweet little lady for a purring chorus in this week's song, a Carpenters classic that was originally written for an advert! Would love for you to take a listen 🧡

I have this thing where I don't like 'insert name of food', like, at all, and then I end up making it myself (tweaking the recipe as I go) and suddenly I GET WHY PEOPLE LIKE THIS NOW.
The latest example: gingerbread.

My scrappy little YouTube channel is 7 years old today!
I'd be honoured if you'd take a look at the first video I ever made - it's such a pretty start to the Xmas Song Advent Calendar that kicked it all off ❄️

Last week, our beautiful elderly cat Astrid went back to the stars, after letting us love her dearly for over 20 years. This song is dedicated to her memory, because she was absolutely impossible at times, but I wouldn't change a single thing about her.
Rest well, queen empress.

Watched the first part of Wicked, and I'd pretty much die for Cynthia Erivo now. She's magnificent.
When she was on Strictly a few weeks ago I was simultaneously disquieted and delighted by her weird, intense energy. But I finally, fully get it now (and my own reaction then): she's magnificent.
