I want to make wreaths, and I've been buying supplies to get that project started. I have tons of beautiful ribbon. Some years, we've made 3 different kinds of fudge to give to family and friends. It is always great fun getting together to cook.

We have a litter of puppies who will be ready for new homes around Christmas. While my family doesn't celebrate the holiday, we are still doing some activities with friends, but I have a LOT of work to do with the puppies! We raise them on a curriculum that was developed by a service dog trainer, and I'm excited for each of them to be prepared to meet their families!

I'm trying to prioritize resting and hibernating this year. I have some knitting and fiber projects I want to work on and some video games I'd like to explore! I'm trying to keep gatherings with friends and family simple too - game nights and attending holiday craft markets over big festive occasions. My partner and I just moved in together a few months ago, so we both picked out some wall art from small creators as holiday presents to make our apartment a pretty place to hibernate :)

@Walywoohoo I'd love to hear more about that puppy curriculum! Does it continue after the puppies are picked up at 8-10 weeks? I just lost my childhood dog a month ago and we called him a therapy dog without the training because he always checked in on people when they were feeling down! I'm not ready for a new buddy yet but I'm in the dreaming stage and would love to raise a puppy like this.

Winter break from school. Need a break from my chaos family aka my classroom.
