I hate most holidays other than Halloween. Is anyone actually looking forward to the big holidays coming up in the next few months?

The only thing I like about the holidays is when they're over.

funny

I also enjoy Halloween, genuinely. The other holidays require too much work and coordination for me to enjoy the season. If I didn’t have a kid to consider, I’d opt out and stay cozy at home.

I enjoy the time-off and decorations/movies. However, I get lonely around this time

Does anyone know what’s going on with my philodendron?

Good thing, bad thing, or just a thing that happens? Anyone have some insight?
