Sneak peek of our Year In Review holiday card 2025. This xmas portrait has a maximalist AI-rendered background since I’m in no mood to decorate this rental house while I await moving back into my real home. I have been sending out a year-in-review email for almost three decades now. If I don’t have your current email address, please message me directly with it. As in real life, I no longer do candles even on birthday cakes, not that my fire was started by them. I therefore asked A.I. to swap all the candles in the background to ornate lighting. I am not really a fan of even having the fireplace there, especially since it’s lit, but you know that’s fake since I had my fireplace removed in my home under renovation.
