Holiday Decoration 2025

Thanks, we are good. We now own land, and will soon live in an RV as we build our house. 2025 will be a great year for us.

Tangent, but I wish we could normalize pass-around bakeware/dishes (with goodies). Nobody in my experience gives away stuff on dishes they want to keep anyway, without explicitly saying they want the thing back.

I like to go to thrift shops/garage sales and get cheap mismatched dishes to make/give away baked goods in/on so nobody has to think about returning it. They cost about the same thrifted as sturdy “disposables” these days. If they want to return it, that’s fine, but most people forget and that’s also fine, because then later they give me something in the same cheap dish, and that’s lovely. Or they use it to give food to others and that’s also lovely. Or they use it themselves and that’s great too!

This works wonderfully for holidays or other potlucks when there are a lot of dishes going around, and it works extra well for shows of support after a loss, when the grief makes memory difficult to maintain.

Not to ruin the moment but /proceeds to ruin the moment for absolutely nobody’s benefit

It’s a paper plate.
