@cuteiosdev I feel like I missed the boat on it so I’m now pretending it’s a deliberate boycott on my part. 😂

@jmacmullin @cuteiosdev Yeah, read that several days ago. That’s why I gave up. By the time it hits mainstream media, it’s over. 😜

WOW! As I’d hoped, the CloudFront free tier expansion is saving me about 50% on my website hosting costs. (In fact, my sites are now fully within the free tier. No CF costs at all!) https://t.co/5SlFp6XaEL https://t.co/ZYLqIRM5SY

@heitor_lessa I don’t remember it really being a thing when I was growing up in the US. I suspect it’s to do with Facebook, and having a photo to share there on the day. The big trend I’m noticing now is matching pajamas for everyone. That’s exploded in the last ten years.

---

@heitor_lessa Pre-Facebook, some families did take a yearly photo to be sent out as Christmas cards. (My sister has done this for like 15+ years.) I suspect that may contribute to the trend, as people started sharing those to FB instead of physically printing and posting.

---

@killerswan @heitor_lessa Ha, yeah. It feels like a similar thing to those stick figure stickers people would stick to the back of their SUVs bragging about their 2.5 kids and a dog.

Christmas is time for sweets! An enormous chocolate babka made by the Snook, and Kaiserschmarrn (Tirolean pancake) made by me! https://t.co/hfrgScC7Sj

In news that will surprise no one, we made way too much food for two people. (Turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted onions, glazed carrots, peas, and gravy for dinner!) @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/1hkJ8Gcy1X

---

@GarethinNRW YUMMMM. Well, the onions were roasted with the turkey!

---

Protip: when you are cold-emailing a woman on LinkedIn to ask her for advice on interviewing at her employer, make sure you know what her actual title is and don’t just assume she is a recruiter. 🙄

---

@anshumalis Not just that! He seems to think I’m a recruiter for TAMs. Like, what?

---

Merry Christmas! The turkey is thawed, the babka dough is chilling, and the homemade pumpkin pie is baked. Here’s to quiet time, good food, and Netflix with my best friend… ❤️🎄 https://t.co/8KAk4wdyme

Almost can’t believe it, but it appears we survived five flights and three weeks in the US without getting infected! We wore masks, limited contact, and avoided crowds wherever possible. I’m sorry to those we didn’t get to see, but I’m really relieved we managed it. 😅 https://t.co/sU5buupOvh

Once spent a memorable weekend in Loch Lomond 20 years ago. We were directed to take “the ferry” across the loch, which turned out to be a fishing boat driven by a Kiwi. Good times… https://t.co/PeQj4Gt846

@randomknits Good grief. Supply chain issues, or just, you know, lots more demand?

Dragged my jet-lagged self out of bed for an early morning salon appointment. Still tired, but at least I’m red again! It looks like a white Christmas is unlikely, so I’ll have to make do with the frost… 🥶😴 https://t.co/FFZXcmNTkh

Happy Gravy Day Aussies! And thanks @knitterjp

@gilmae To my delight, I was just doing my Watson thing and my first guess was what he tried first, and my second guess is what he’s now implementing to get the solution! Feeling quite proud. (Except I have no idea how to actually execute it. I leave that to the Consulting Detectives.)

---

@gilmae To be clear: he was already working on that approach. I didn’t give him the idea. 😂

---

@gilmae Keep going! He nearly gave up on it. He is convinced he is The Worst at it every single day. And I say, “GROWTH MINDSET!”
