It's the most wonderful time of the year again! Whether it's at home or in the classroom, watching a Christmas theme movie is the way to go. Hope our picks of those Chinese movies will help spread holiday cheer and make learning more joyous this year!
Quick tangent re: roasting: It\u2019s something that a lot of us do quite often towards the end of the year, and some of us are just more competent at it than others. I, for instance, tend to put things in the oven and then forget that they\u2019re there. One year, we were throwing a holiday party, and, as is tradition, I hopped in the shower five minutes before everyone was supposed to come. Somewhere mid-soap, my wife burst into the bathroom screaming \u201Cthere are flames shooting out of the oven!\u201D Apparently, there was a ham in there. That situation (naked in the kitchen fighting a ham grease fire) might have been avoided with a Chef Alarm, a really good probe thermometer that you stick into whatever you\u2019re roasting and that will beep whenever it reaches whatever temperature you set it at. If you have any kind of Norman Rockwell holiday feast aspirations, this thing can really help you nail it.
China’s Toymakers: No Joy This Holiday
There are two things (well, three, but I can\u2019t really plug pharmaceuticals here) that have helped me get a better night sleep in this sick mindf*ck of a year: a weighted blanket (this one \u2014 it\u2019s nice and cool, feels like a hug) and Lord Jones CBD gumdrops. I have not found a flavor I don\u2019t like, plus the packaging is perfect for gifting (and they\u2019ve got holiday flavors \u2014 sugarplum, and spiced cranberry). I also really like their CBD lotion; it smells amazing.
Since many of us won\u2019t be traveling for the holidays, I\u2019ll be sending my far-flung loved ones something special from my neck of the woods \u2014 the Pacific Northwest, where we have a lot of awesome food. Perhaps you\u2019ll want to pretend you\u2019re spending some jolly time up here with us Sasquatches and ship yourself some treats as well as to those on your list. Or maybe this theme inspires you to support your local food economy and seek out gifts from wherever you call home.
