Wishing you a Merry Christmas from my hometown of Palos Verdes! I only have beautiful memories here, probably because I only stayed here until the end of fourth grade, and the life of a fourth grader isn’t all that tough, but nevertheless, coming back here always sweeps me up into an ocean of good vibes, and I hope you are finding your holidays filled with that too!

Before you tell me that this isn’t a festive enough greeting, please take note of the palm trees strung up with Christmas lights, and the Christmas sweater/cardigan thing* I bought from Marshalls six days ago.
