hey there, fish gang!  now that my college finals are over, i get to bring you guys something new!

i’ve mentioned this before, but we will be having weekly talking points / chatting threads! i’ll try to post a topic with a general theme or a couple questions every week (the day may vary slightly), and everyone gets to weigh in with their opinions. hope this sounds fun to you guys! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

because the holidays are swiftly approaching, i decided to make that the theme of our first “let’s chat!” the holidays!


are you looking forward to the holidays (are you feeling that holiday cheer)?

are you traveling to be with family, or do you have other plans?

how do you feel about presents? some people think there’s too much pressure around them. where do you stand here?

is there a gift you’re hoping to receive?

answer any or all of these below

Im excited for xmas! Im just staying local w my family.  
We stopped doing real presents a couple years ago & it’s great — we all just want cash or food anyway, lol. Now we just do a ‘white elephant’ gift exchange w cheap weird &/or cursed items from thrift stores. Its a lot less pressure

i haven't felt holiday cheer proper for several years now and i've been so swamped with work i barely get to enjoy our first holiday of the season (st. Nikola day) :< but i will be putting up a christmas tree at my parents' today so that's something! everyone drop your favourite decorations in the thread <3
a new year's eve plan was attempted with both my friends and my coworkers but no one really had the spirit for it so i'm probably just going to be playing video games at home with one of my boyfriends. our party days may be behind us for good
this may be an uninformed opinion but i think the pressure and hype around presents is a very American - or at least western thing. in my former socialist republic we don't really make a huge thing out of it - it's always nice to get gifts but no one's losing their minds about it like i've seen the people in movies do. the "white elephant" idea sounds super fun, i might suggest it to my friends next year! we've been doing secret santa for 8 years running and pretty much already gotten/made each other everything reasonable we could want or need, lmao. the antique shops are beautiful this time of year <3
i'm hoping someone throws budget concerns to the wind and gets me a good quality chest binder, but the more accessible items i've asked for are a crowbar or a stacked bandcamp gift card to acquire weird transfem noise records for my radio show

oops, that got a little wordy - but it was a fun prompt! hopefully it inspires some community bonding. happy holidays, all! ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊

I'm not a huge Christmas-person, but I'm pretty excited to return back home to celebrate with my mom (I moved out just this fall). I don't feel much pressure about gift giving since I don't have many close people in my life, usually my Christmas is pretty chill with just me and mom. Bought a card game for us to play and I'll probably bake something for my friend when I come back.
I wish I would get a gift card for books or clothes or something because I'm a student and been trying to save UwU but I'm not greedy

I havent been feeling much holiday cheer this year, im just exited for a break. i keep seeing ads saying stuff like "presents make the holidays 1000% better!" like thats so disgusting. the holidays arnt about spending money and getting things and im sick of companys saying things like that. And if you must give gifts, homemade gifts are so much better and in my eyes, mean so much more! i only made gifts for my gf and my best friend, but im more looking forward to spending time with them then seeing what they got me. <3

i'm not looking forward to xmas as much as i did when i was younger, this is my first xmas living alone and it's not been super great so far. i do have a tiny xmas tree that does help me feel a little better lol. i'm not really traveling anywhere besides my hometown like 10 mins away. i'll probably go to the family get togethers and what not but nothing much else. presents make me slightly anxious, i'm not really able to buy gifts this year since i'm broke. but i find spending time with family to be the ultimate gift i could get.

I've never been a very christmassy person, but I'm looking forward to the break from college, the last few weeks have been very draining exam prep. I bought myself a cow print worm plushie and dyed my hair and that made me feel a lot better! I hope everybody here has a good christmas!

I honestly prefer the lead up to Christmas than the actual day since there's more cheer all-round imo. Present-wise i don't rlly care if i get anything or not since i rarely know what i want, but this year im hoping for a (Christmas themed) puzzle! Happy holidays all <33
