Happy Christmas, Hilary! One of the highlights of traveling to France when I was little was finding my name everywhere including on a book series. I felt seen: https://tinyurl.com/5dyazm7y
Aww. Love this, Martine! And she's a little ballerina in one of the books. So parfaite! Happy Christmas! Miss you. Hope the card makes it to you in time. xoxo
Yes! I know you feel me, fellow Hilary. Maybe leave a photo of this sign lying around and someone will get the hint! 😀Thanks for the note and taking time to read my rambles.
I love your pink tree! I used to have one in our closet, gifted by a neighbor... it's such a camp dopamine boost! As is your analog rebellion. You are definitely defying Scrooge Hilary! Happy Christmas! P.s. I LOVED "Deadloch"! Wasn't the all-female choir amazing?
Thanks, Alisa! The pink tree really does spark joy. I love that you also loved "Deadloch." And yes, the all-female choir was incredible! Such a funny and smart show. Fingers crossed it comes back for a second season. Wishing you Happy Christmas too. I just received a note from the local bookstore that your book has arrived. Can't wait to read it. :)
What a superstar Jared is, putting up the tree. That's love, that is!
You are not alone. I find this time of year challenging for reasons that would fill a book. I always look forward to January 1st!
Many congrats on the BBC article. Terrific article, too. I absolutely love your posts from the critter cam 😍.
You really have taken me right back to the seventies, with the name craze and the iron-on patches etc. It's driving me mad trying to remember what was on the plastic (yes plastic) picture I had on one tee-shirt, and I have no idea how it survived the washing machine. I know I had patches on my jeans, and one was of the Bionic Woman.
Thelma looks excellent. Richard Roundtree!!! 😍Hoping to see that sometime, definitely.
I absolutely LOVE your neon sign. You ARE seen H2! You bring such joy. At the risk of sounding like a well-known TV show theme song, thank you for being a friend 💛
Not surprised that you had a Bionic Woman patch on your jeans, Jules. You've always been cool! I loved Jamie Sommers as a kid and totally wanted to be her. Whenever I played tetherball, I'd imagine I had her bionic strength as I hit the ball and tried to will it to spin around the pole at warp speed. Lol. Thanks so much for sharing the post. Your encouragement and support always gives me such a lift. I'm so happy we connected here. I love your Stack as you know and I credit you with making me a much more cultured person these days. Thank YOU for being a friend. I look forward to meeting for tea some day in the UK. Wishing you a peaceful holiday and good things in 2025. 🧡
That's amazing! I thought she was impossibly fabulous and had posters of Lindsay Wagner on my bedroom wall. I was devastated when my piano lessons clashed with The Bionic Woman 😆 I think it was the reason I gave up playing piano! Great role model for girls ✨
Oh it would be wonderful to meet someday. 😊All the best to you and Jared, and thanks for your encouragement too. It means the world, as you know. Keep smiling. 🤗
Thanks, Sanjiv with a V and Happy xmas to you too! I'm guessing you had a similar struggle as a kid trying to find a vanity plate for your bike. Another reason why we're friends. :)
You are the most unScroogelike person I’ve ever met!
😘Thanks, Jeff! I try to make merry, though it’s not always easy.

Being another Hilary with ONE "L", you know I LOVE this edition! SO relatable ;) Envious of the neon Hilary, superb friend gift giving!

Happy Xmas Hilary with one 'l'!

The 70’s name plate craze was not kind to Hilarys nor Bettinas. 🤨 Your spot-on description of the smell of the iron on tees took me back!! 🤣
Your musings bring such joy! Happy Holidays H2!
Aww. I figured you could relate, Bee! We were robbed! Lol. Thank for being a faithful reader and for the sweet note. ❤️Happy holidays!!
