Trimming the tree is a big deal in my family. We a Trimming the tree is a big deal in my family. We all get together and, fueled by snacks and drinks, we decorate the tree in a night. This is the first time I've been able to join in three years.

It's been three years since I've been in Canada fo It's been three years since I've been in Canada for Christmas and three years since I've had a proper family Christmas.
⠀
In our family, the Christmas tree is a pretty big deal and always a real tree. And so I accompanied my dad to pick out this year's tree.
⠀
The choosing and cutting went off without a hitch but I did feel a bit of apprehension when the tree guy tied our selection to the roof of our car with what appeared to be simple twine. But who was I to question the expert.
⠀
Welp, we were on the road about ten minutes, chatting about whothehellknows, when we heard a sharp "paff" and the tree went leaping into our rearview mirror.
⠀
We pulled over and hurried out and, though the thing lay there like a dead body, about as far from festive as you could get, it didn't seem to have been damaged by its arboreal acrobatics.
⠀
Thankfully, my dad had some proper straps in the car and the tree stayed put for the rest of the ride home, any further escape attempts rendered impossible.
⠀
I gotta say, after three years, it's truly beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

Waiting for our turn to board the ferry to Charmon Waiting for our turn to board the ferry to Charmonai. Once aboard, I promptly sliced my finger open on metal sheeting stored as cargo. The other passengers quickly mobilised to find me some tissue with which to stanch the modest but steady bleeding. Once in Charmonai I was led to a pharmacy stall where they disinfected and wrapped the wound, then refused to take payment. Point is, the people of Bangladesh are ridiculously friendly and endlessly helpful. .
