Merry Mushmas 2025

Doodle of a Christmas tree in the glow of the Christmas tree lights

Ahh, here we are again! At the most mushiest time of year, and yet I have felt the least mushiest yet. It’s been a difficult year. But, one where I look back and think well shit, I’ve become the most honest and truest version of myself thus far. I’ve spent more time with myself without the influence of others, without trying to overthink how people perceive me. Whether that really matters. Because it doesn’t. I spent time with the people who matter most to me and stopped chasing those who aren’t or even will be in my life. I stopped forcing things and questioned my motives with questions like, am I just saying and doing this to make this person like/and/or see me? Validate me! Attention seeking what? Uhhhhh, let me just be a blob and become a form of mush that isn’t seeking anything but life and love within and without! 

And that meant less writing, less doodles, more thoughts, more observations. Lots of anger, grief, sadness. I’m still in this formless shaping into what? Well, I’ll always be a little mushy, a little blobby but that means I’m always growing! Changing! and allowing myself to make mistakes. And hopefully I’ll eventually forgive myself for said mistakes… eventually…

Severed Hand of Christmas Joy

Severed Hand of Christmas Joy

Oh, well, it’s that time of year again where I make scribbles and dribbles or Christmasy Mush to delight you all and to spread the Christmas cheer! What cheer…oh what cheer ….

The world needs A LOT of Christmas Cheer.

It also needs to collect the severed hands of all the cruel people in this world too. Oh what a day that would be …but let’s not be heartless during the holidays, is that being heartless? I can imagine that would be a lot of severed hands though. We’ll call it Mount Severed Hands.

But instead we’ll just imagine a happy little severed hand decked out in Christmas lights.

Well, that’s as far as my Christmas spirit is going to take me this year. I have no Mushmas cards to give out, paper crafts, or sweet baked offerings.  This is the first doodle I’ve drawn this month unfortunately. But I shan’t let the cruelness of this world destroy the whimsical mush! No I shall not!
