More Christmas festivities. There are so many festivities...
(I did edit this, sorry if it changed while you were looking at it.)

So I’ve bought and wrapped a present for my cat. Family has not all been taken care of yet.

I went around town, looking at the decorations. It was a lot of fun. I have to do it again this year.

I "adopted" a a kid from a helping hands tree through a local church. No one in my family has kids and I love shopping for kids so its fun.

I feel good knowing that no one is wrapping great presents. Mine usually look awesome on the first side and then a little crazy on the other. Elf on the Shelf was a huge thing for my niece and nephew the past few years, but I have not personally done it. I also haven't done helping hands.
I *think* I have cut down a tree (not me personally, but my dad), but I genuinely don't remember for sure. We used to go to this Christmas tree farm that I don't think exists anymore, and the trees weren't wrapped up. So, I'm thinking we chopped them ourselves. My dad also loves the Christmas lights, so I've taken many, many car trips looking at house lights.
I've done advent calendars, Christmas cards, pet presents, and Santa snacks. My sister made me a blanket once, but I don't remember if it was for Christmas or birthday.

Both my parents use fake Christmas trees, so I thought nobody bought real ones until I met my husband's family. They make a huge mess and I don't see the appeal.
Any chance I get to adopt someone for the holidays, I try to support adults. There will always be programs for kids, but there's no glamour in buying shoes for developmentally delayed adults so they get left out.

^That's interesting. I don't know if I've ever seen a program for adults, but it makes sense.
Real trees stink and are a fire hazard. I had breathing problems as a kid and was completely miserable the entire month of December each year, but my dad was kind of a jerk about needing a real tree. I don't know anyone who does real trees now.
