Oh my goodness, I just rewatched "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas" and it is just adorable. So, so cute. I grew up watching this one. Next, I'm onto "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" and "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (well, depending on how much time I have tonight I may save the last one for tomorrow or even Christmas Eve!) I'm going to save "It's A Wonderful Life" for Christmas Day as always!

Hoping there are random people on this sub that would love to chat about thekidlaroi’s music or other music like his!

Lately I’m just obsessed and have his latest album on repeat.

I (30f) have an older male coworker who I’ve been friends with for a few years. The other day we were talking about cologne/perfume. The next day he came over to my desk to tell me what cologne he put on, and he wasn’t sure if it was overpowering. I said I couldn’t smell it, meaning it’s not too strong. He leaned down and in to me (really close) so I could smell his neck. It felt rather intimate. The same day he was talking to me and told me I had eye lash on my cheek. When I couldn’t get it, it almost seemed like he was going to move in to try and get it off himself but he didn’t. When he turned away his face looked somewhat red even though he’s not shy and doesn’t embarrass easily. Am I reading too much into this?

I do like him, I’m just not sure if he feels the same. It’s been confusing because in the past I thought he might have liked me, but lately he teases me a lot/is abrupt with me sometimes/less attentive. But then he does things like what I described above. I even had a missed call from him one Friday. Is he trying to escalate things? It’s confusing.

I feel like Everytime someone asks me if I have watched a particular movie that they like, I always feel guilty for saying no coz they make me feel bad for not knowing it, anyone else feel that way?

every time i go out at night i look for Orion it makes me fell good seeing it in the sky, do you look up to see a constellation if so which one

Everytime i see a banana i get a small dopamine rush. I get excited just by seeing one. I dont get that same rush with apples cause they are harder to eat. banana

I love cooking. If there is an ingredient that I need, I hardly ever think twice about getting it even if its a little hard to get your hands on.

Except, for reasons unexplained, sichuan peppercorns. I could have easily bought some at any point in my life, but apparently there is a blind spot in my brain for them.

So, years and years have gone by of me looking at recipes that contain them and then just shrugging it off and subbing it out for black pepper, even though i knew it was completely different.

Or so I thought i knew. I finally got some. Made a regular in rotation recipe - an easy cold sesame noodle salad. Recipe calls for sichuan peppercorns, but we never had them, so never used them. We did tonight.

The feeling was crazy. I second guessed myself wondering if i was having an allergic reaction at first. In combination with the chili oil... what an incredible feeling. I cannot believe i was lazy / procrastinaty enough to deny myself this pleasure for so long.

I love spicy foods. I love horseradish / wasabi. This was like unlocking a secret 3rd category of sensation.

So, my point is, if you have anything like that in your life... just buy the ingredient.

Today my parents gave me a Christmas gift (they gave it to me in advance) I had asked for something different I was considerate with what I asked for I didn't ask for many things I asked for a case and things for my hair they, for their part, brought me a bag and a big stuffed animal, the truth is that they seemed pretty to me although with the money they spent on the stuffed animal it cost what I asked for and the truth is that all my life I have been grateful to them and this year it was the same although I can't fake a smile and I think they felt bad I think it was a bad act of mine part and now they believe that I didn't like it and they did like it although I was disappointed that it wasn't what I asked for I acted in a very bad way by not reacting happily to my gift

It snowed a little today and I was happy because I got to admire the snow. But man, I am NOT suited for this cold, it is freezing like hell over here. At least I have some warm tea - my favorite drink on cold days. How do you like to spend the cold winter months?

I’m a Reddit newbie and recently came across an artist who’s so talented. He’s done some incredible covers of well-known songs, and I’d love to share them with you. If you have any thoughts, I’d really appreciate hearing them!

His new song also has a touch of Christmas vibes, so if you’re feeling tired of the usual holiday tracks, it could be a nice, fresh listen.

Thanks so much to anyone who gives his music a try—I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

She is such a sweet princess. Whenever I sit down she runs over to me and makes herself comfortable on my lap. I love the way she adjusts herself to make herself more comfortable. I love the way she leans into my hand when I'm petting her. I love her little face, her little paws, the way she runs, everything. I even love how selfish and unapologetically herself she is. I love that she bats my hand away when she's decided she's had enough petting.

Literally everything about her I love. She's so fucking precious.

I have a strong desire to take a short vacation to somewhere warm. Strong enough that I’d go alone.

Has anyone traveled solo as a woman and did you feel safe? How did it go? Did you wish you had a friend there or did it feel good to be alone?

Usually I dread driving into town, going shopping, having to converse with people etc.

Maybe it's the holiday spirit, but people seem a lot friendlier than I expected.

There is a lot of world outside of these screens and it's easy to forget once you shut yourself away from it.

Rather than taking all my societal opinions from the screen glow, next year i'll try to be more involved in personal interactions in my local area.

I created a free daily puzzle called Guess My Numbers. It’s like Wordle, but you guess a three-digit number with color-coded hints.

I’d love to hear your opinions, whether you’re a puzzle fan or a parent curious about something for your kids. Could this be fun or even help with thinking skills? The game explains itself when you start, but you can also press the “?” icon for more info.

Food these days even at the fanciest restaurants have become dull and boring. What are some foods, restaurants, and/or recipes that blow your mind? Can be simple or complex!

I always save It’s A Wonderful Life for Christmas Day. I’ll actually be working this year on Christmas Eve and on the 23rd (though on the 23rd I’ll only work in the morning, up until about 12:30.) I think on Christmas Eve I may be scheduled to work both morning and afternoon-night so I’ll have less time to watch something on that day. I was going to watch the Mickey Mouse Christmas specials today. Might watch mister Magoo’s christmas carol tonight or tomorrow night too for the nostalgia. I have plans to watch the Charlie Brown Christmas special as well. I’m also studying for an exam (BCAT, ABA) that I have on Jan 5th. I won’t have as much time this year to tune in for the twilight zone new year’s marathon since I already know I’ll be working so I may plan ahead and watch some twilight zone over the next few days too. Only day this upcoming week wherein I won’t be working is Christmas, and I just want some recs!

One story my parents like to bring up about me is, upon my birth into the world, the doctors at the local hospital found a problem with my heart when doing their scans on me.

They believed I had a heart problem that would be reason enough to have me transported to the Children’s Hospital two hours away. The doctors feared the situation was urgent, so I got to take a ride in the Life Flight Network helicopter from the hospital.

A two hour trip was, I think mom said took 30 minutes roughly.

While I was at the Children’s Hospital, they placed me in that room where people can watch the babies from the hallway… this room though, was the room for premature newborns, still not sure why the doctors placed me there because I wasn’t prematurely born, but ok!

Dad still talks about all the tiny newborns in that room…. And then there’s me at 8lbs 9oz with more rolls on my arms than the Michelin Man right next to the premature newborns.

I ended up staying the night at the Children’s Hospital with mom before she got the word about my situation from the doctors

Perfectly healthy baby boy!

It turns out the hospital mom and dad checked into didn’t have near the technology the Children’s Center hospital had. Better technology cleared the air that I was a healthy baby.

It’s funny to look back and realize that I wasn’t even born for a week, and I was already giving my family a scare lol

The holidays have found me a bit broke and in one of those brain storming sessions, trying to figure out what to get the fam that wont completely break the bank, I was thinking about ways to prevent this in the future. I’ve never been really good at holiday gift giving. If I hear a friend or loved one mention something, I’ll pick it up for them if I have the money no matter the season.

So I I thought a solution to this would be to find a hobby that I can make things in lieu of store bought typical gifts. I grew up in a family that created things. My grandmother owned a ceramic shop that I spent my childhood summers in. My other grandmother was a seamstress my entire life and taught me to sew (which really paid off in the Navy). One of my grandfathers was a carpenter and could build anything out of wood. So I have some experience with these crafts, but have never committed to any hobby really.

Woodworking and ceramics take some specialized and sometimes large tools that I unfortunately don’t have accommodations for, so I’ve kinda ruled them out.

I’ve considered knitting/crocheting but living in Florida, cold weather gear isn’t a huge necessity.

Right now I’m thinking leather. Starter tools are not crazy expensive, space is not an issue, and there are patterns to follow. Belts, wallets, keychains, and once more experienced, purses, travel gear, and maybe throw in some of that sewing experience with some clothes.

Bottom line is, no matter what it is, I think my friends and family would enjoy something I made for them and I also think I would be more proud to give something I made than a gift card or some other typical gift.

Tl:dr I need a hobby where I can make gifts for the holidays.

Growing up, I was constantly told that I would never amount to anything. My family didn’t believe in me; some even laughed at my dreams. I was young, inexperienced and didn’t know better, so I took the advice that I thought was meant to help me—settling for a low-level education and a low paying job.

My mom, who I thought would be my biggest supporter told me I should stop dreaming about something better. She said I would never make it higher and should just accept a modest future. I listened to her then and I let that doubt consume me. I didn’t finish high school and for years I struggled, stuck in a cycle of mediocrity, feeling like a failure.

But then something changed. I moved out, away from the constant negativity and for the first time, I had room to breathe and think about what I wanted. I decided to take my life seriously. No more settling, no more listening to people who said I couldn’t do it. I started working on myself piece by piece. I picked up where I left off with my education fueled by the determination to prove everyone wrong—especially myself.

Today, I’m just five months away from finishing high school. After that, my sights are set even higher: I plan to study economics at university. It hasn’t been easy but every day I get closer to proving that I’m more than the limits others tried to put on me.

To anyone out there feeling like they’ll never break free, remember: you don’t have to live the life others choose for you. The only person who can define your future is you.

This is only the beginning for me but I already know one thing for sure: I’m going to make it.

It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm stumped. Most of my friends are out of town for the holidays and have been every year. I'm blessed to have my girlfriend tomorrow before she flies out, but other than that I don't have anyone to spend my time with, really.

How can I spend this day meaningfully? I've had some great birthdays in my young life but the past 4 have been pretty lonely.

Better yet, tell me how you spent your 25th birthday.

If you just found out you had 6 months to live, how do in you think you would respond?

What would be your initial feelings? How long would they last?

What are some things you would make a priority to do? What's at the top of your bucket list?

Pick any question-- don't feel the need to anawer them all, but you are certainly welcome to.

Or add a question of your own!

For a bit of context, I’m autistic. The other day, I celebrated my 127th watch of the year of my favorite movie, 127 Hours. It’s my main special interest.

I wanted to share my celebration somewhere, so I decided to share it on r/autism. I’ve shared my 127 Hours fixation on Reddit before, but I’d get negative responses. At this point, I’m used to it and I don’t care. Well, this was a completely opposite experience. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive. I got so many comments that I had trouble keeping up with them! Lots of people were genuinely interested about me with this film. My favorite thing to do is watching it, but my second favorite thing is talking about it. So imagine the joy I had responding to everyone’s questions. I felt like I was on cloud 9!

Before Reddit, the only people who knew about my fixation were my family and friends. Now the internet knows about it. I can’t wrap my head around it. It blows my mind! I’ve never seen so many people supporting my love for this movie. It makes me so happy, I can’t describe it. There’s some truly kind people on Reddit.

And in case if you’re wondering how I celebrated, I bought myself a cake and 127 numbered candles. I also got myself some Taco Bell and watched the movie with my home theater setup. It was one of the best nights I’ve had all year!

Do you think the mass hysteria around football is justified? Personally, I find it hard to understand how something as simple as a game can command so much money, attention, and fame. Am I missing something, or is it truly overhyped? I’d love to hear your perspectives.

Now I'm an adult but I still like "kids movies", today I watched Atlantis for the first time, and I really enjoyed it, the cherry on top was when Milo and Kida hugged at the end. I often get annoyed when in movies we get a kiss at the end, like it's some sort of obligatory closure, I think to myself "the timing is weird for a kiss, a hug would be more natural" it kind of ruins the immersion (not sure that's the right word), anyway that hug was very satisfying. And I liked the whole movie, there weren't any random details to throw me off.

I remember one evening going on a bike ride though the neighborhood with my dad, and it was a perfect day with the temperature and the way the sunset looked while we went through the trails towards the back of our neighborhood.

As we were almost to our house he stopped and signaled me to pull over onto the grass, and we walked through an open field next to some trees. He then picked up a huge scoop of leaves and threw them up in the air super high, and they all started spinning as they made their way down. (I think these are maple leaves?) I remember thinking it was so cool and we each took turns throwing them up and watching them fall before we biked back to our house

Hey All! Was wondering if any of you have recommendations for fun mobile games I can get for free. I am a big fan of word and puzzle games, but I keep wanting to find something new to play. Thanks in advance!
