christmas card season: THE MOTHER LODE

well, well, well. let the games begin as i like to say when i get my first card (usually the walls) of every season.

listen - i freaking love holiday cards. DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND. please never stop sending them and if you haven’t already, DM/text/email me for my tybee address (altho i did get my NYC ones too! just won’t be here after this weekend!).

but, please admit these two are the upper-est of the upper echelon.

let’s take a looksie, shall we?

all righty, well - it’s just kinda cheesy. and…STRATEGIC AF.

we don’t need nobody - we’ve got each other’s back. next.

i really didn’t like the halter choice, so i am annoyed we gotta show off the back again. (it is a nice back).

harry looks EXTRA talldrinkawatah here. it is a nice look.

i do love a black and white, now, i’ll give ‘em that.

idk, look, the world knows their faces. we don’t need more wedding shots. fine. and everyone who gets married in a calendar year, even if it’s like a january shindig, uses a wedding pic in the holiday card that year. I GET IT. i do. i just feel like it would have been nice to have a more real life shot. we get it. we heard. you guys got hitched. THE PLANET IS FULLY AWARE. but there is so much mystery surrounding them rn, and i just think MM - an incredibly savvy woman in full control of both her and her husband’s narrative - is really amping it up. as i like to say, kate’s boyfriend happened to be a prince. meghan, a C list hollywood actress, married prince harry. it really shows in choices like this to me.

hey guys: who’s on their distribution list? serena? the clooneys? (all fake IMO) i hope somebody grams receiving this. cause i need to know stuff like what’s the card stock? do they use minted? what is the text inside?

next up:

yall. these parents look tired, and it really warms my heart.

i am no dummy. this, too, is strategic. but it just feels so much less forced. i do truly think they’re kinda a young, busy, happy, not-getting-enough sleep family.

well, william! that shirt button! i do believe i see a tuft of chest hair! (emoji eyes)

I WANT TO SQUISH ALL OF THEIR LITTLE FACES. but i want to be, like, friends with little miss charlotte. does she not look….like she would be…so cute and mischevious to spend an afternoon playing with? and her messy little hair and hand me down cardigan, just all of it. I DIE.

louis. you gotta be kidding me. what a little nugget.

i hope these press rumors are all fake but i just don’t see that they are totally wrong. where there is smoke, there really usually is fire. and i think kate is just running her family and her life in a way that is in complete contrast with the way meghan is rolling. all very evident when looking at these two public photo opps side by side.

people are saying george is in jeans but…iiiiiii don’t know. i think they are like a chino type regular pant just in a blue-ish color. he looks so happy and like such a little boy! HEARTS IN MY EYES!

louis’s hand on kate’s. lawd help me. heart explosion.

now. who gets THIS card? is it hanging, along with cards from years past, in the butcher shop in norfolk? does she scribble “xoxo” on the one that goes to the queen? oh god awk-ward i guess harry and meghan get one? i assume one hangs in the break room of party pieces? ok, i’ll stop now.

well, all, that’s about it. no it’s not, ashley and i will continue to comment and text on this for weeks. but that’s all for here right now! i hope everyone is having a not that stressful last week heading into the shit show. remember! it’s just a day! like every other day.

merry everything to all! xo
