Sure, the first year (or two) of COVID were wretched, but most of those barriers have since cleared — yet I'm still struggling. I've noticed the same with a number of people within my family and neighbourhood.

How are others feeling? Are you struggling, yet succeeding? If so, how are you breaking through?

Christmas is a whole month dedicated to consumerism and kitsch. It's no surprise you're bored of it now.

There are ideas and arguments that can counter consumerism.

For instance - putting away same old decorations and reusing them should lower consumerism somewhat.

Wait, do people NOT do this? I use the same shit every year unless it's broken and I can't fix it. Usually my cats are in some way to blame for that.

Dunno how many do/don't do it 😁

I just wanted to point out a rather obvious idea 😂
Earth would also thank you!
