Another Christmas ornament selfie, an outtake from our Festival of Trees two-part gallery.

Hey, kids! It’s that beloved holiday tradition where we just post a couple of recent Christmas-themed photos with some short yet sincere seasons’ greetings, and we give readers a break from my usual self-indulgent verbosity. It’s the most wonderful time of the MCC year! Click, scroll, ooh, ahh, and keep on frolicking down the internet superhighway!

Lowe’s Home Improvement always has the most fun holiday displays ’round these parts.

If you’re scrolling on your phone while taking a break from your family, and you’ve included us in your scrolling, then welcome to this brief respite! We wish a Merry Christmas to you ‘n’ yours, High-Spirited Holidays, Vivacious Vacation, Divine December, and/or congratulations on reaching the light at the end of the 2022 tunnel despite the obstacles and heartbreaks. May your days be merrier and brighter, your celebrations invigorating, your downtime rewarding, and your internet circles calm and peaceful and filled with joyous content. If they’re not, maybe find brighter circles? Or cuddle up with a cozy, non-interactive, non-vitriolic book or movie instead?

Apropos of our year, Anne decorated our Christmas tree with a Star Trek theme. Longtime MCC readers could no doubt guess she naturally has Captain Janeway in her Hallmark collection.
