One of my students today told me to have a peaceful Christmas. I don’t know if I want to have a peaceful Christmas, as it’s been hectic and filled with visiting family. Furthermore, I think I prefer this to being bored. What type adjectives would y’all use to describe your ideal holiday season vibe?

I want to wake up smelling Christmas tree and my ex-wife. It doesn't appear I'll get either. Meh, I guess the cold van will do.

I miss the smell of Christmas trees! I hope you find something comforting :)

I, uh ... much prefer her smell on me now that the dryer sheet ran out. I'd be fine with a Christmas tree, but this is how I have her here.

Peaceful is exactly the word I'd use for my ideal Christmas lol

My wife prefers hectic. She calls it "holiday magic". It's so stressful.

Idk but Christmas has a very cozy vibe in my head. I’m not even Christian or anything, but the tradition seems to always bring me a bit of joy.
