The cold snap that's been raging for over a week seems to have abated a bit, and I wanted to get into the Christmas mood, so I went downtown.
However, since all the people who had been stuck at home had come out, I was soon swept up in the crowd and it was hard to walk on the streets. I was afraid that someone would fall and cause a big accident, so I hurried back home. Even though the cold had receded, the weather was still hard on me, and the lines at restaurants were so long that I couldn't eat and came home hungry.
I guess it's best to stay home during the holidays than to go out in the crowds.
~bartender, can I order some hot udon noodles here? 🍜🥢🍺
I didnt really get into the spirit this year. Barely any lights up where I was, and snow just didn't come. It felt like mild Autumn.
Going out into the crowds can be fun but with the risk of a cold and long lines, yeah it can be more cozy to stay at home. Sometimes, when I’m alone, I just like to mildly peek at people and see what they’re up to outside. Could be interesting without the wait if you don’t mind a walk in the cold. Always best to prep it with the hottest cocoa / coffee / tea possible to keep your hands from snapping.
Anyway, merry Christmas to you! Stay warm and cozy and enjoy your udon noodles.
