knocking a-down the christmas tree 🎶


hey, buttercrunch.

so, picture this…

it’s christmas eve at my grandparents’ house, circa maybe like 1980 or so

everyone’s packed in the kitchen, likely getting in the way of my poppy + my mom who are no doubt preparing the smelts + clam sauce + five other fishes for our traditional italian christmas eve feast

everyone but me, that is

as the story goes, all of a sudden from the kitchen they heard my sweet small voice — maybe i was four or five, and i certainly wasn’t as much of a loudmouth then as i can be now

through the din, this is what they heard:

wooosh, crash!

and then me…

“oh shit!”

i don’t know if i’d just been getting a closer look at the pretty lights or if i was tryna guess what was under the tree, but one way or another i got too close…

and before i knew what was happening, i apparently knocked that shit DOWN

i don’t actually remember this happening, and it might have been christmas day + not eve…

but one thing i know for sure is that i must have felt horrible when the tree came mellencamp a-tumblin down

and i’m here to do my part to help you avoid having an “oh shit!” holiday moment of your own!

so if you find yourself coming up short, having forgotten to grab a gift + too swamped with holiday prep to go get one —

consider gifting a virtual co-created card reading/coaching session with me!

i guarantee you won’t have to worry about duplicates, and increased confidence + clarity is always in style

these virtual sessions are even more powerful than my kiddo-sized tree-take-down strength, and you can scoop up as many as you like at HALF OFF, until christmas morning!

this is a gift that’s sure to inspire + surprise your giftee, and will officially make you the coolest gift giver around…

without ever having to leave the house

get as many as you like for only $33 until 12/25 am right here:

$67.00

and pssst… why not get one for yourself while you’re at it? you deserve it, bloom 🎀

xxoo, cc

ps: this will likely be my last reminder, and i’m not sure if i’ll email again before the new year

may you wrap up 2025 with fresh introspection, fierce loyalty + love for yourself, and the boldness to open your heart to every hope + dream you wish to claim

thank you for being in my world

fuck snowstorms, bloom. when you’re already hanging on by some kinda thread, there’s nothing like a continuous 24-hour heavy snowfall with accumulations of 18+ inches to make you fall to your proverbial knees (or scream obscenities through tears on the way to fill up your gas tank) when your finances for the rest of the month are planned + plotted to the penny, canceled work gigs HURT or maybe your heart is too too tender lately, and being snowed in echoes the absence of someone you miss or...

hey, garlic knot. i know we love our checklists, and crossing items off them and you know i’m all about making sure that what’s ON them in the first place makes best sense for YOU — which means that you’ve probably already eliminated most of the unnecessary tasks on your list that reflect other people’s goals, wishes + intentions more than your own (way to go! or, if this is something you struggle with — give a shout to talk through how i can help) but now that your lists are filled with the...
