#i've seen a lot of happiest season hate on other platforms? which made an already difficult day harder for me tbh?

Today, Cameron and Donna are at their home in Mountain View

[CN: Halt and Catch Fire season 4 spoilers - major character death, food/eating]

Where so far, they’ve had a quiet but comfortable day, that has included

sleeping in and canoodling

huddling under a blanket together and tearfully but happily processing a lot of feelings and traumas that came up for the both of them around various things (Cameron’s dad, Cameron’s mom, both of their divorces, Donna’s parent’s unrelenting shittiness to Gordon, concerns about the girls’ happiness, etc)  while watching Happiest Season (2020) the night before

an overwrought and stupidly indulgent brunch

brief, contact-free visits from both Joanie and her family and Haley, her partner, and their daughter (Donna: “sometimes living in a glass house pays off!”)

preparing and enjoying a small feast of comfort foods (turkey pot pie! biscuits and gravy! mac and cheese! green bean casserole! ) together, followed by more canoodling
