preparing

preparing mulled wine, one jar for ginger and orange peels in vodka, another for the more traditional cinnamon and clove. 

our "christmas tree" this year. somewhat more abstract. i guess the formality of our christmas trees is fading alongside with the notion of christmas altogether. we stopped giving each other gifts a few years ago. this year we are not even bothering to get pork (expensive and far away)...  but possibly or probably our next christmas will take place in a country where christmas is 'properly commercialized' and western christmas foods available! 



stuff i read ([red]!):
Mic.com: How do you pronounce "read" in 'read receipts'?
Guardian: How Reddit's Ellen Pao survived the trolling attacks
aeon.co: Do children have a right to be loved? although short, and didnt lead anywhere, imho. the comments under this piece are more interesting than the writing itself.
