Day 23 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent. Quick note because some family stuff in the past 24 hours has forced a complete change in Christmas plans and I suddenly have a lot to do today. Everything is fine, but my partner’s family abruptly had to go somewhere on Christmas so we are not doing Christmas with them for the first time ever. We’ve… never done Christmas at home. If anyone has any advice for making a cozy Christmas for two, I’m open to suggestions – I am so out of my depth! We have a little Charlie Brown tree I’m going to set up and maybe do Christmas movies and still figuring out food…
Anyway this is a nice orange spice tea but I’m not sure it’s chai-level spiced. It’s a nice sweet orange. Other flavors are cinnamon, basil, I want to say clove but there isn’t any in here. Even the ginger is hard to make out except for the occasional back of the throat burn with some sips. I like it fine, it just doesn’t quite live up to the name.

I don’t have any friends or family that live anywhere near me, so I always do holidays on my own, just me and the cat. I think making your own traditions is a good way to go (for example, I have “Thaisgiving” where I get a bunch of Thai food to eat over Thanksgiving). I celebrate Festivus rather than Christmas which is already much, much more low-key (I have the aluminum pole and everything!), but ordering in pizza, taking a luxurious bath or shower, and lounging in PJs on the couch with the cat are all things I look forward to during the time off from work. (A cozy afternoon tea session with some sweets is also nice!)
Love that you have the aluminum pole! Thank you for the advice.
