A bit of nostalgia for the soul, courtesy of Pinterest. What can we take from a Friends Christmas?
Cookies and conversations. Enjoying a bare tree for a bit. Not everything has to be done in one day.
Decorating the tree with help. So much of the holiday prep should be done with help.
Curtains and a window menorah. A pine table centerpiece. A tiny penguin. Mix and match maximalism is better than beige minimalism. Meaning over perfection.
Garlands. Red and green will never not be classic. If the tree (or anything, for that matter) looks a little wonky, it’s fine.
Snow and spying on the neighbors.
Have a solid apron that carries you through the soups and sweets of the season. Turtlenecks forever. Stay warm.
Formal wear in rebellion to the cold. Warm drinks. Step out into festive environments.
More penguins. The warmest scarf. A Santa hat. Joy.
Tinsel.
A gift swap. (Still spying on the neighbors).
Community and time with no phones in sight. Offline is forever the luxury of today.
