Making Christmas

Leave a reply

Hello lovelies. If you’ve been locked in a cave or trapped under something heavy you may have missed the news that Lelutka is offering a new head for group members, for free. You can pick up a male and female head just for the having, and I do have to admit, I might like this one the best of any I’ve gotten in 2020. It wasn’t hard to get her face in shape for a Gidgey type look either.

How are you decorating for Christmas? Do you buy gifts for your SL friends? I popped over to the ARCADE and pulled levers for gifts for friends which was fun. A cream doggie for Gogo (already gave it – no worries). A Black and Tan doggo for Dancien, something fun and RARE for Kitty. I also grabbed a few delightful hampers for some friends—it was a successful shopping trip, and I couldn’t wait so I already gave some away. I know I’m silly, but still – I love Christmas.

I’m in the middle of decorating my home and I’m using mostly old decor items this year because they are traditional to me and my SLife. Do you have traditions in SL? I like having items I do every year. It makes my SLife have more of a narrative which makes me happy.

We are winding up for the holidays – I bet there have been “Baby it’s Cold Outside” posts already.

Tangled Up in Christmas

Keep Portland Weird

Christmas tree decorating in real life has always been a journey from joyful camaraderie to aggrieved frustration and back again. My family decorated a 17-foot tree and I decorated to top from the balcony off my bedroom while Mom and Dad decorated from below. This would not be so difficult, really, except Mom would get exercised if two ornaments of similar color were in proximity. It’s not that there were identical decorations since there were so many different ornaments, but a pink vintage ornament next to a pink modern ornament was not okay. The tinsel had to be individually draped placed, no tossing! But in the end it was always fun after the defective bulbs were identified and replaced, the tinsel evenly balanced, and the colors distributed with the precision of a drill team.

When I moved to Oregon, I had the brilliant idea of getting my own tree and chose the aromatic Western Red Cedar. It was beautiful! Until I tried to put an ornament on it, then the branch sagged and the ornament slid off. It had no oomph! I had to tie every ornament on the tree. A lot of work, but it sure did smell great. This tree from moss&mink at The Arcade was so much easier. Now if I could just rez it in my real life living room.
