Holiday fairies, astronauts, and victory!

Merry holidays! This tree in Seoul is accompanied by a nagging countdown. It was 60 days until the winter Olympics, and we still don't have everything booked!
Singapore thinks that winter, Santa, creepy elves, flying reindeer, fruitcake, chestnuts, sleigh bells, etc. are not enough, so we have new holiday themes, such as this fairytee. We made poor work/life balance decisions, so this from-car picture is the best we got of the space holidays décor.
This year's holiday wrap is not as creative as the past, but I'm pleased to announce that holiday French is abound in Asia. I prefer the "Petit et gentil" ornament.
I prefer wrap with seasonally appropriate messaging. (Note, not an actual model 58, from my checking).
Nothing bring yuletide joy like these simple statements.
I like to tell my gift recipients how to live, you know?
And when the gift is wrong, I give them a "Thanks anyway" gift back.
I'm not sure when it makes sense to give a camouflaged gift - seems more like an Easter thing.
While I disagree with the travel message, it is a victory to receive a gift from me, really. It's a subtle message.
