Krampusnacht

 

Morning

As Debra at She Who Seeks pointed out in her post this morning, December 5 marks Krampusnacht; the night that Krampus visits and punishes naughty children. 

He should spend a good long time in D.C.. There're plenty of bad "children" there.

But it's cold. Bitter cold. 

A good reason to stay in bed,

or find a shaft of sunlight to relax in,

go chop some wood and lie in front of a fire

or lie in front of a fire and chop some wood,

or bake some Christmas cookies for Krampus.

Rich and Diverse

Morning

I debated whether to post this because it won't actually be released until Valentine's Day, but the whole Pre-Order has become a "thing," I guess. So....

Giving

 

Morning

Yesterday I suggested giving to an AIDS foundation in honor of World AIDS Day. A few left comments or sent emails that they'd done just that.

Now it's Giving Tuesday.

So much is needed, and most people are struggling to make ends meet due to rising costs on everything. And I do mean everything.

But, as Maddie pointed out on his blog A Day With the Mistress Borghese, we can donate in other ways: Our time, our talents, or items we no longer use.

Remember to be good to yourself, too. Donate to your own well-being in some way to keep the batteries charged.

Some fun of the season....
