In Which we have a post for the Thanksgiving Holiday 2025: from an Exhausted Brazilian to dear America

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this present post! It is another day of November, the week of Thanksgiving too, in advance I should say happy Thanksgiving, and I wish you the best. It would be needless to add, but I will do it anyway: grateful to all my dear friends, online or IRL. I am grateful for you, dear reader! And all the good things that came to be this year of 2025, the year of the APopCalypse, the year of the collapse of Brazil's economic purchasing power. I would add moral collapse, societal collapse, overall the burning down of a whole nation, but it has been gone for a while now, what we have is the crumbling of the rubble. Anyway, still, in my personal life, even with the exhaustion, the tragedy, and all sorts of burning out, I am grateful, I am okay, I am cheerful because it is Christmas season. I will not let any catastrophe take this from me, if I can help it. I still have some agency, as such, it is Christmas, I should decorate whatever is left of my rubble...

In which we talk about a great Christmas Special!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday to you and good evening as well! Also happy December and happy Christma season!! How are you today, how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, hope you're having a nice day indeed! As for me, today was a calm day! I could've done more, and I didn't progress much on my studies today, since I have a test tomorrow, but anyway, I hope I got this... The weather was hot, as usual, but well, it's Christmas season, so, yea! I also talked to some friends, and that was amazing too! Hope Sunday may be more productive, I want to sketch something. Of course, I wanted to have made this post sooner, but I'm kind of enjoying writing on the night, though I prefer doing it during the day, anyway... Today there's a very special Christmas special I'd love to talk about! A Very Murray Christmas!!


When I heard Sofia Coppola was doing a christmas special for Netflix, I got so excited to see it! When I finally got to watch it, back on the Christmas of 2015, as I was expecting, I loved it so much! It became a Christmas tradition of mine ever since, to watch this amazing special on every season! In fact, I appreciated it so much I even watch it "out of season", and I have put the sentence like that because for me Christmas is all year, but anyway, this show has a killer cast, with Bill Murray at the center of it all, but also Rashida Jones, Jason Schwartzman, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Paul Shaffer, and some really interesting appearances thoughout the show, such as Michael Cera, Miley Cyrus, George Clooney, Chris Rock, and the list goes on! Indeed is quite a spectacle!
The plot is quite simple, and it patch small stories as it goes on, starting on a Christmas special Bill Murray has to do, but is very reluctant on doing so, and so it goes from there! 
This special is very pleasant and nice to watch! It passes fast and at least made me wanting to rewatch and see it more when it's over! Lots of wonderful songs in it, even more forgotten Christmas ones, which is always amazing to see it back, I loved all the songs and the people singing it did it beautifully, it's lovely and smart, I definitely appreciated it a lot! It also made me recognize the talent of Miley! I use to ignore her, specially after her career took the path it took in 2013 and so on, but seeing her appearance on the show, it really made me at least recognize that she's a great singer, and today I really appreciate her and listen to some of her songs! And I also like her as a coach on The Voice! 
The Aesthetics of it is smart, really feels like New York, and it really has the director touch in it, which is refreshing! I really adore the work by Sofia, my favorite movie, Marie Antoinette, was made by her, and I felt all of this on the special, and I loved it! And of course, Bill Murray is just amazing, he's an actor that truly makes me want to see a movie just because he's in it! 
And for today this very nice and eyecandy Christmas Special is what we have! If you feel like it, give it a chance and you might like it too! Thank you so much for reading this post, you're really the best, dear reader, and I always appreciate your presence a lot! See you next time!
