Christmas!
Presents, cooking together, all the food, Jane and Tony coming over, all the cheers-ing, chatting to Stuart on the phone, my new DMs, Stick Man, skyping with the Fems, sitting in front of the fire, playing with Alexa, a feminist book from my brother, Alec’s weird melting video, playing the piano, Soph getting the body mop, Snapchat and naming a gravy boat after Stuart.
A day of cooking all together. I made vulva mince pies. Obvs.
Pizza oven pizzas for Christmas Eve dinner. Sitting out by the fire with dad and Ben was lovely.
Reminiscing about nan at dinner. Her terrible driving, her sneaky cigarettes and her penis chats. And watching Ben laugh so hard about wing mirrors.
Discovering Hyrrs (feminist hymns) and doing a couple of hours volunteering for Bloody Good Period, sorting out tampons and pads and eating mince pies.
Travelling around London and everyone is happy and smiling and carrying big bags full of presents to take home for Christmas.
Everyone together for Christmas in B&H’s house. Indian food, fire, family. So lovely. Let Christmas begin!
Aside from the worst hangover ever, it was nice to spend some time with Stuart without needing to get up and leave really early.
The pizza that Jo bought round for me. So needed.
Watching Miracle on 34th Street with a hungover Matt, mainly napping.
Volunteering for Bloody Good. Going and setting up their new extra storage unit. I didn’t really want to go out on the rain but it was really good and I’m so glad I did it.
Being interviewed by Jinan about my vulva t-shirts for their Christmas newsletter. After a day of doing lots of vagina and BOW work. It’s great to have this time to work on all this stuff.

Set up a vagina tshirt shop. Got five orders already. Check it out.
Prahmas. All the food, all the present and, randomly, all the singing.
