Hahaha.😂 I especially love the caption on the picture of Baubo. I’ve never been big into decorating for any holidays really, but my daughter loves it, so I do my best to help her decorate. This year we have a puppy in the house and no real good place to put the tree. I found a small blow up tree at the store today to put up for her. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story!

There were many parts of this essay that I loved. I also read that book and remember fondly the first time I learned of baubo. I love baubo. Learning to laugh about obscene things is my favorite life lesson.

Your essay was beautifully written. I don't often get caught up in essays anymore. I'm deeply engaged in writing/life. Yours made me glad I pulled up substack.

I have kind of lost the Christmas magic this year. I think I'll remedy it by making ornaments with the children.
