#tree decorations

[thedaveandkimmershow]

Turns out a friend of ours has a knack for decorating Christmas trees. 

They weren't super motivated this year because it's been a busy year, but when they learned family was gonna show up on their doorstep, their art director skills kicked into full gear.

We talked about it last night after Christmas dinner and I found myself passing along wisdom gained from my own childhood memories regarding the day after Christmas.

You see at least the one year, my parents determined to buy Christmas decorations on the day after Christmas when stores were looking to positively unload their stock of Christmas inventory. Sixty-five percent off. Seventy. Eighty, maybe.

One year I clearly remember my parents partaking of the sales at Frederick & Nelson: wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, ornaments, et cetera. So, God help us, we got up early, drove downtown, parked probably in that parking garage across third avenue from the old Bon Marche, and walked over to F&N to stand in line by the doors on Pine Street between 5th & 6th.

At some point, the doors open and we become part of a mad stream of shoppers flowing into the department store. And the thing I’ll never forget is that not only were people running for the escalators, I saw an old woman with a cane running.

An old woman.

With a cane.

Running.

It was awkward as hell, but there you go. The magic of the season.

Afterwards, we stood in a hella long line to pay for our Christmas booty…

And then we went home.

It’s a memory that always comes to visit me on the 26th every December making me feel super awesome for staying home.

And this time, last night, when the need for wisdom arose, I had the story handy for passing on to someone who's similarly contemplating their need for Christmas decorations...

At the end of the coming year.

Besties: Me and my Cat (CC Pack for The Sims 4)

Introducing "Besties (Part 2): Me and My Cat" CC Pack!

I'm super excited to bring you the second part of the Besties series, now focusing on our beloved feline friends! In the first part, I shared with you guys a collection all about the beautiful bond between dogs and babies. For this second part, I thought I’d switch things up a bit. Instead of focusing on cats and babies, I wanted to highlight something just as heartwarming—the special relationship between cats and adults. Yes, you guessed it, I’m talking about the delightful world of cat ladies (and gents)!

This pack has loads of goodies for your Sim’s cats. There are two new versions of the cat tree: one with a cozy little house and another that looks like a cool cat gym on the wall. Your cats will love the new bed, scratchers, and another bed shaped like a tiny house. Of course, I’ve got the essentials like a litter box and food, but let’s be real—we all know the ultimate cat item is the cardboard box!

And because I know how much Sims love their kitties, I’ve added some fun items for a cat-obsessed Sim’s bedroom. I was going for an eclectic vibe this time. There’s a new classic bed with cute cat details on the pillows, a cat-shaped lamp for the night table, and an adorable armchair with cat accents. Plus, I’ve got new curtains and, most importantly, picture frames to show off the beauty of your Sim’s cats.

I’ve put a lot of love into this CC pack and can’t wait for you to enjoy it. Don’t forget to tag me in your social media posts—I can’t wait to see your amazing creations with your Sims and their feline besties!

Enjoy the fun and whimsy of The Sims 4 custom content, and as always, happy simming! 😊🐱📦

what your favorite William Morris print says about you (a non-exhaustive list)

strawberry thieves: you're a basic bitch and there's nothing wrong with that. those little fuckers are cute

tree of life: you think we all moved on from the whimsigoth trend way too soon

pimpernel: you're going to put an Alphonse Mucha print on top of this and you know it

voysey: you're a massive goth. you've probably watched Bram Stoker's Dracula a lot

blackthorn: you're a massive goth who doesn't like making things too hard on yourself

willow boughs: you say "timeless" "classic" and "modern twist" a lot when decorating your house

owl and willow: admit it- you really just want mid-19th century panoramic wallpaper

melsetter: admit it- you really just want 15th-century Gobelin tapestries

lodden: you genuinely believe, deep down, that you will decode the Voynich Manuscript someday

marigold: you enjoy versatility. you probably own the same shirt in four colors- and why shouldn't you?

balmoral: your ringtone is Rule, Brittania

I don't have a favorite Morris print because I prefer [insert another late 19th century textile/wallpaper designer here]: you are a hipster

I don't have a favorite Morris print because I don't know any: you have a social life
