December 2025 News: Wow It Sure Is December 1st Over Here!!

Hi-ho, y’all!

I don’t know about you, but The Holidays™ are already demolishing me. I suppose that comes with the territory when one’s day job is retail, but y’all, I’m ready for January.

That’s not to say I intend to be a Scrooge or a Grinch or a third character who doesn’t like Christmas but then does so it’s kinda weird to use their name as shorthand for not liking Christmas, but this December is going to be Busy with a capital Buh for me. I feel like I’m almost starting to get back into a creative groove, but when I come home from work exhausted and sore, making things is tough. (Why does retail make you sore, you ask? Well, you know those eight-foot artificial Christmas trees that people buy and then return when it doesn’t fit in the space? Yeah, somebody needs to handle those returns! I’m that somebody!)

I hope to have something to share with y’all in 2026, but I’m stuck in Make the Things Good mode at the moment. Thank you for your patience! See you in the new year!

Love,
Josh

P.S. If the Wham!s and Mariahs are beginning to grate, I offer you Sufjan Stevens’ Christmas music catalog. Enjoy!
