happy holidays
Dec. 11th, 2010 01:39 pmI've decided, definitively, that I want, and planned for transport of, a tree.
A real live tree, er, real formerly alive tree.
I've been bequeathed a selection of family ornaments, including the glass chili pepper (which is my favorite ornament ever, it looks like the glass blower was making something in this shape and crumpled it up, so, dried pepper!) and I'm planning to make some things--popcorn strands, maybe some origami ornaments, and stuff.
By the way, this is NOT a Christmas Tree, it is a Pagan Tree: I reclaim the tree in the name of the pagan traditions Christianity culturally appropriated in the first place. Just because Christianity won that cultural appropriation war doesn't mean I can't fight it again.
Anyway, if gift-giving is part of your solstice-approximate traditions, and you would like to give a gift to me, I would very much like more ornaments for my pagan tree! Fannish ornaments, handmade ornaments, ornaments that say "this is where I'm from!" (part of the reason I love the chili pepper so much is it's an Arizonan ornament, and I'm a desert rat born and bred and gone and returned) or ornaments that you just think are pretty. Or funny. I like funny, too. My address is in an access-locked entry. Send me ornaments, please! My tree needs love!
I am screening comments to this entry because I would like to invite anyone who wishes to leave me their address and any requests you may have, because I would like to send ornaments out as well, to anyone who wants one. Probably I'll be sending out origami ornaments, though for some of you I might be moved to break out the popsicle sticks.
ETA: a tree is here!
