Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.
Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.

Brunch is the manifestation of sloth, of eating the first meal of the day with a mindful mindlessness and no consideration for deadlines. It is always a good time for brunch.
An important part of growing up is realizing that brunch at 2pm is insane. It's obviously supposed to be at 10 or 11. Not breakfast, not lunch, something in between. Anything later is sloth.
