HoHoHo 🧑🎄 we are BACK for our Christmas Special featuring Niall Campbell on his @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social collection 'The Island in the Sound', shoutouts to Kay Syrad, @matriches.bsky.social, George Seferis plus festive shenanigans planetpoetry.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...
Pondering over whether this is the year I finally stop sending Christmas cards. It seems expensive and wasteful, but I have so many friends and family that I have no contact with from year to year, except via Xmas cards, and I don't want to lose touch with them completely. Do you send xmas cards?
