- First time spending Christmas Eve alone

- Having a hard time getting in the holiday spirit since it’s 85 degrees and the view from my living room is of Copacabana beach

- Getting angry at my neighbors for listening to the Grease soundtrack loudly , then finding myself singing along

- Eating pancakes for dinner and watching No Doubt music videos

- Drinking cold Bohemia since this apartment doesn’t have a filter and I forgot to buy water

- Listening to Etta James (because my list for Santa was basically the lyrics to “Sunday Kind of Love”)

Feliz natal
