I've been on a hunt for the best WORST Christmas movie, and may I represent to my you: Christmas with the Campbells.
- Justin Long speaking exclusively backwoods country boy slang ✅
- excessive sexual innuendo from everyone but the main girl ✅
- abrupt and random scene transitions ✅
1/2
Christmas with the Campbells (2022). From producers Vince Vaughn & Peter Billingsley. In the background is a snowy hill with a decorated Christmas tree on the left and a bare pine tree covered in snow on the right. In the foreground, Brittany Snow stands in the middle looking thoughtful, Justin Long stands on her left smilingat the camera, and Alex Moffat stands on her right touching his chin and looking confused. All dressed in winter clothes.

Two dogs napping on my slipper sock foot. The bigger dog is golden brown and black. The little dog is tri-colored and has foot speckles. The slipper sock is extra large and comfy.

Relief is coming. You have been working so hard and taking on so much. But you are starting to realize the importance of balance, the importance of boundaries. Take steps to lighten the load you carry. All that's left to do is ask for help. It's ok. It'll all be ok.

5/5
The Ten of Wands from the Sacred Web Tarot deck. A black bat is hanging from then black wands with white flowers on the end. The wands form an X shape, with five wands on one side and five on the other, joining at the bottom with the white flower ends pointing away. There is a red streaked circle behind the bat, similar to a coffee stain on a coaster. The background is white. The card is reversed, so this image is upside-down.

You bring peace and light to the lives of everyone you touch. Surely they are grateful for you, but you should be grateful too. Your strength lies in your ability to spread harmony. So be thankful for your role in adding peace to a world rife with conflict.

The Five of Wands from the Sacred Web Tarot deck. In the center of the card, a small white owl with bright yellow eyes hangs upside-down from a branch with four different flowers growing on it. One flower to the far right on the top of the branch has an orb of translucent red around it.

Below the branch, three white wands with black flowers on the end are evenly spaced apart and positioned to point at the owl in the center of the card. The background is black. The card is reversed, so this image is upside-down.

It's time to let go of the excuses, the self-doubt, the limits you are putting on yourself. You have all the tools you need, all the time you need, and you are ready to move forward and let your work and your soul's needs be realized. Move forward and know you're ready.

Deck: Santa Muerte
Card: Queen of Cups (reversed)

Sometimes strong feelings can overwhelm us. We act out, from insecurity or just not wanting to carry the weight of feeling anymore. Remember your depths are boundless. Feeling is not weak. Find your center and reorient yourself to peace.
#tarotsky
The Queen of Cups card from the Santa Muerte tarot deck. The deck has a tan border, there are blue flowers with skulls in the center in each corner. In the center is a ring of red flowers under a large blue flower with skulls on each petal, with another small red flower on top of it all in the center. Faded blue Spanish etchings are in the background. The Queen of Cups card shows a skeleton wearing a blue, long-sleeved dress and a wide-brimmed purple sombrero, holding a bejeweled heart-shaped red potion in outstretched hands. The skeleton stands in a field of blue flowers in front of a light blue sky background. Because the card is reversed, the image described is upside-down.
