0:00.0	Hi, everyone back to Bat on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia
0:22.4	Mentor. And today is our 2025 gift guide episode. I'm feeling very in the holiday spirit,
0:29.6	kind of newly as of this week. So I'm very excited for this. Me too. It's actually one of my highs.
0:35.7	So we're on the same page. Well, tell me about it. Tell me your high.
0:40.2	Well, it's a dual part high, but the first high, I guess, is just that I've had a week at home to do nothing but work and write and revise and read. I have not been social. I have been sleeping. It has been the best. And I have
0:58.0	been treating myself to tiny bits of the holiday season. For example, I have been getting one
1:03.9	pump of the peppermint mocha flavor in Duncan in my iced coffees. And every time after I get it,
1:09.2	I think, is today the day that I play Christmas
1:11.2	music is today the day. And I've been delaying the joy of listening to Christmas music,

1:41.8	morning, which I feel like really turned a corner for me.
1:45.9	And then a couple of my friends have already put up their Christmas trees and have been sending photos of them.
1:52.0	And I'm very tempted to as well, but I'm feeling pretty frazzled.
1:55.5	So I don't think I need to take on putting up the Christmas tree prematurely onto my list plate, et cetera.
2:04.1	Yeah, I felt the same way. Instead, I put a day on the calendar where I invited Jake to like,
2:09.6	okay, we'll get our tree this day, we'll decorate this day. It's right after we get back from
2:13.5	visiting Jake's family for Thanksgiving. So it's on the horizon.
2:18.7	But yeah, I'm with you.
2:21.6	I keep seeing Christmas decorations everywhere, and it's very tempting.
