Oh man, I’m already starting to feel the holiday vibes! Although I’m not a religious person—actually leaning towards the belief that much of what we “know” about Jesus and the surrounding stories might just be the product of imagination and church propaganda—it doesn’t mean I can’t celebrate Christmas.

In fact, this year, I’m decorating my first Christmas tree in almost two decades. I’ve had my years of living abroad and plenty of seasons where I outright refused to celebrate Christmas, but not this year.

It hit me yesterday when I saw all these beautifully decorated trees and houses glowing with lights and holiday cheer. I thought, why not join in? So, right after breakfast, I jumped in the car and set out to pick my Christmas tree.

sometimes I appreciate not buying that CLK three years ago instead of this A4

After visiting three different stores, I finally chose what I think is the perfect tree for my space. It’s about two meters tall and wonderfully proportioned—not too wide, not too skinny—just perfect. 😀

Of course, I had to grab some decorations, too. I’m super picky about this stuff, so I spent a good amount of time hunting for the right ones. I think I nailed it. But I’m not setting it up just yet—I want to wait until we’re closer to the actual holiday.

this was the best Christmas tree stand I could find, you can even fill it with water so that the tree will last longer

So, what else is new?

Well, it’s said that markets tend to rally heading into Christmas, and I’m betting Santa’s going to be generous with us this year. After enduring bearish times for so long, we freaking deserve it. SUI—a shitcoin I hold—has already rallied nicely. It’s hovering around $4.80 now, and I’m expecting it to hit $7 by year-end.

Once it breaks $10, I’ll start DCA-ing out heavily. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I think we’re not quite at the euphoria phase yet, but I’m playing it safe this bull market. I want to ensure I have a decent stash of cash and stablecoins ready when the bear market returns.

Meanwhile, the U.S. seems to be getting more “pro-crypto” by the day, and that sentiment is definitely reflected in the markets. The “everything season” is here, and there’s no stopping it.

I kind of feel like not having enough decorations

So yeah, I’m gearing up for Christmas. I don’t have solid plans for the holidays yet, but a bunch of friends are coming to town, and my parents will be back from Austria for Christmas, too. I’m hoping the winter holidays will be fun and rewarding.

That’s about it from me for now. Wishing you all a great day—see you next time!

Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

Nothing like a good Bull market to get people in the holiday spirit..

yep...

So many Xmas decorations you are surely reasonable for Christmas 🎄🎄

I hope so.

It's the most nonsense time of the year. 🎄🎶 just wanna quote Sabrina Carpenter's song. I guess she ain't into holidays too..but even though everybody can still celebrate.🥳

True. Do you guys celebrate it in your country?
