Tea need not be limited to a specific time of day.
In the same way, Christmas -- its spirit of joy and giving, hope and love -- need not be limited to a few weeks in the year.
And the combination -- a shared meal, filled with joy and giving, hope and love, can be enjoyed any time of day, any day of the year.

Linda reviews "Nicky" by Denver Shaw, A Daddy for Christmas 2:
"A beautiful story and a different take on the Daddy/Boy relationship. Usually, the books revolve around the boys finding a daddy, but this one was more about a daddy wanting to find someone who would willingly be his boy... Five stars."

Review: "Florian's Yuletide Wishes" by Jules Radcliffe and Stephanie Lake
"Two men - Florian, an under-gardener, and Everett, a groom - are friends and lovers. Since it is 1805, their relationship must be kept hidden... A lovely story about a man who fears being around people, but learns that his fears were misplaced. 5 stars."

I listened to the full uncut version of #TuxJam episode 119 "Mini Fun Plus".
A full 2 hours, 18 minutes, & 35 seconds of my life.
Wonderful banter and discussion by @kevie @mcnalu @thelovebug & @mralc
They discussed recently released #Linux distros from #DistroWatch, reviews of #FunOS Linux and the Miyoo Mini Plus handheld gaming device.
The episode contained excellent #Christmas themed Creative Commons licensed and permission given music tracks.

Seeing Christmas trees discarded with such reckless abandon on a planet that's literally on fire is utterly disgusting.

Dear knitters of Mastodon,
Many years ago, I started this top-down circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper, hoping to knit my own ugly Christmas jumper, using a pattern by Drops (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/157-23-silver-stag), using DK-weight Drops Karisma yarn (https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/garnstudio-drops-karisma), knitting on 4mm needles.
I stopped knitting because I made a mistake and couldn't face the frogging.
Now I want to frog the whole thing and start over, in part because I feel like my stranded colourwork skills are much better now.
I am wondering if I should find a different pattern? Maybe I don't want the jumper to be "ugly" anymore, so it would be a bit more wearable? Don't know if ugliness vibes are completely avoidable, given the colourways that I have.
QUESTION: do you have any suggestions for your favourite circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper patterns that might suit the yarn that I have (MC: 500 grams / 1000 m; CC: 100 grams / 200 m)?
I never actually completed a circular yoke, or a stranded colourwork jumper, so maybe something that has some good alternation between the colours would be best, just in case I don't manage a good tension on longer floats.
