as I prepare to bake gingerbread cookies on a day with 82% humidity, temperature currently 22C/71F, I reflect on how monumentally dopey it was to import European Christmas festivities to the Southern Hemisphere
I mean, you’ve got the profound cultural and societal harm caused by Christian evangelism to indigenous cultures
and then you’ve got me sweating over gingerbread in shorts and a teeshirt
nobody wins
(as a family life aside, currently upstairs I can hear my sister asking Green Niece if she is currently Asrael or Mistletoe, the two imaginary cats she sometimes is)
#asrael is obviously a smurfs reference#i don't know where she got mistletoe but it's a cute name for a cat#also they'll be really good cookies I've made this recipe before#we'll decorate them with royal icing and red and green m&ms#I genuinely love doing this I just don't appreciate the sweaty weather at the same time#it should be SWEATER WEATHER not sweaty weather#I have had I think two northern hemisphere christmases in my life?#neither in ideal conditions but gosh I was so excited
