Boy oh boy, it's Christmas again. Can't believe, I just can't believe it. Christmas is a time to think of others....of others....of others.......

This year, the other things I'm thinking about include:

  • Film & Camera: I've been having a lot of fun with taking photos of all my loved ones lately, but dang can it become an expensive hobby! Any type of fun photography doodads can be fun. When I say doodads, I pretty much just mean film hehe. I like color!! 
  • Third Man: Some of my favorite shirts are my Beyond the Summit and Radio Edit Shirts. It's time for TMR to join the ranks. 


  • Clothes: Vintage clothes only babes, personality, energy, Harry Styles. Gender has no place in fashion 
  • Culture Baby: I do quite enjoy going out to eat and to shows in NYC. Addy and Mar got me tickets to Wicked for my birthday and set the bar PRRRRREEEETTTTYYYY high. They......defied gravity......if you know, you know.
As it seems like many of us are, I genuinely am quite minimal in the belongings I keep. I really truly don't like to keep more than I need, and have been shedding many many possessions other than the bare essentials. I live in a shoebox anyway, so not much room for anything regardless. I am rich in the people and experiences I'm beyond fortunate to have, and that's how I want it!!

Andrew and Sammy and Leo

 A- 

Hello Family!! I'm so ready for Christmas this year! I've been very good and helping a lot with our new puppy Leo.  So hopefully Santa has me on the top of the nice list.  😎

I've been really interested in cool books about Calculus, Trigonometry, Chemistry.  Even if it's above my school level I love soaking it up! 

I'm also interested in geology and cool rocks like a pyrite cube would be cool or a trip to the rock shop to look at the specimens.  

I love getting to go to fun interesting places with my grandpatents and uncles and aunts.  I'm a pre-teen and gen z so things and places that fit that mentality.  

American science and surplus is a place that Santa usually shops at for me but maybe going there if it's open would be fun.  

I wear size L/XL in kids clothes or adult Sm and I'm shoe size 7, 37/38 euro size 

Thanks so much and I love you all!!! 


S- 

I've been a really good boy too! And have been so sweet to my big brother and mommy and daddy and the new puppy too!  I'm so excited to see Santa and my family I can hardly wait.  

I love going fun places with you all too! Trips to a cool candy store or ice cream shop or chocolate shop would just make me scream with delight! 

I love kitties, robots, Spider Man, play dough, slime (even though mom and dad don't like it), remote control things, blind box things (cat vs pickles, Playmobil, mixlings, etc).  

I wear size 4T and shoe size 10/11.  

Thank you Santas! 


L- 

I'm a cute squishy puppy and my name is Leo.  I like chewing puppy safe things, cozy naps and walks.  I'm so excited to meet you all and my doggy cousins! 

Mama J

Hello Naj Pack, so excited for more xmas fun this year!  I'm trying to go more farmer next spring so supplies in that direction are what's on my mind.  
I'm planning some Wine Cap beds around the farm, so 1 or 2 bags of Wine Cap sawdust spawn or a gift card here would be great: 
Shroom Supplies 
I also have plans for some sun flower beds, so a gift card for some seeds would be cool if fungus isn't your jam.  

Cozy slippers sz med. Slippers

If that doesn't cover it, vinyl is always so loved by me from you guys!  Dealers choice or I've been longing for Live, Throwing Copper or The Who, A Quick One.  Or a gift card to my local spot Grimeys is cool too.

Two boys

How could this boy ask for anything?
He has everything.
I would like to donate this list to a different boy, one who would say he certainly doesn't have everything. 
This other boy would say he needs as many treats and toys as possible.
This boy, you know him well, is named Sanders.
He would like to ensure anything brought into his home is in some way related to him.
Does it allow his parents to go on hikes with him?
Adventure with him?
Snuggle by the fire with him?
But nothing too elaborate.
He's a simple boy.
Not as simple as his father.
If you insist on getting him anything, he likes Mcdonald's.
Yep, serious.
Oh boy.

Laura + Willow + Miso

WTF HOW IS IT DECEMBER 15th?!? Once again this month has flown by...but so excited we get to be here for the holiday! Also sad we will be missing some beautiful faces but we will drink and eat merrily in your absence. It's been an amazing year here at 412 and we hope to end it with lots of jolly festivities. 

Including lots of "presents" (wrapped empty boxes) for WILLOW...if anyone feels the need to put something in a box for her she she mentioned a couple of things:

- My mom seems to think I only like wearing footed onesies...I like them just fine but I could use some variety in my wardrobe. I'm wearing sizes 6-9 months now but I am growing like crazy so who knows what size I'll wear by Christmas...if it's a little big that's great because I'll grow into it. Used clothes are AWESOME! 

- I have lots of instruments now and love them (thanks Dad!), I like pulling up on literally everything, crawling, clapping, babbling, and EATING! I am still eating like a cavewoman so could use a few of these bowls and plates and anything you think I will need for eating in the future (p.s. my mom is CLUELESS).

- I like toys but please nothing that will give my dad a panic attack. 

*******

Ok, MISO here...this freaking Willow baby has ruined my life and I am even crazier than I was before. Please get me some new friends (I've eaten all my old friends)...I like really tough plush toys with squeakies, preferably fish and birds but I'm open to trying new things. Just make sure I get my chair at the dinner table mmmkay???

*******

Me? As you all know I find much more joy in getting rid of things than I do acquiring new things, but I have become fond of making sourdough bread and can always use high quality ingredients: flour, herbs, olives, cranberries, whatever you think might be good in bread! I also like wood stuff! Framebridge gift cards! Maybe it's time for a toaster? idk...love you all hope this helps!

You may have heard me drone on about consumables. I'm all about them, y'all! Coffee, tea (decaf, please and thank you!) stationary, etc.

I've got a grinder, tamper and scale for my La Pavoni espresso machine, but additional accessories would be fun to play with. 

I am obsessed with mochas, so I'd like anything I can use to make some at home. I don't have a good recipe down yet.

I have a dog. His name is Sanders. A gift for him is a gift for me.

XOXO

Yuletide Gratitude '22

It's been another year of Wonder and Joy. Exciting new faces have joined our ranks, man and canine alike. Reflecting on 2022, I can't help but feel oh so grateful. Grateful for our health, for our beautiful family and friends, for the memories we get to build and cherish together. And now it's time to, yet again, present our gratitude for one another in the best way we know how - through the sacred language of consumerism. 

Cannot wait for the new Christmas Memories ahead...

xoxo,

Macy's Hit List 2022

Dear Mid-West Fam: Thank you for inviting me once again to be part of this fam tradition! I'm trying to live more minimalistically (zero waste) each year, minimizing my footprint and impact as much as possible. Boy, it's tough! But if I have to purchase something, I'm still all about them small, local biz, who have a vision for fair labor/trade, public good and sustainability.

Here are the things I've been into lately:
  • chillwave and EDM music
  • cooking and bakeware
  • vintage clothing
  • adaptogens/mushroom-infused coffees/food
  • camping gear essentials
  • fun, unique tapestries/blankets
  • Native/indigenous art, literature, Robert McFarlane books
Thank you to my "Secret Santee"! XOXO
