Thanks for this rambling, dear Bee! I've been a bit shy to comment because my English is not quite good, and I don't always understand what you say... but it's super relaxing and tingly 😊
The Afterlife of Holly Chase was a really fun Christmas read!! It’s a YA modern twist on A Christmas Carol that’s great for when the season is jam packed and you want a good light read
I'm sorry you get migraines, I do too, but they got better when I entered middle age. Yes, I am old. But you remind me of my best friend in highschool and uni, lol. We don't do anything special for Christmas which frankly is pretty sad! Except I literally do Christmas photoshoots with my hamsters lol
This is only a half-serious suggestion: You should read How Murray Saved Christmas. It’s a kids book. It’s not serious at all, but it’s damn funny no matter how old you are haha.
