Holidazzle

We went to Holidazzle for the first time in years and years. Last time we went it was still a parade. It was fun, but there were a lot of people and big lines.

Large crowd gathered at night beneath trees wrapped in bright green, purple, and pink holiday lights, with city buildings in background.Outdoor choir of young adults in winter coats and hats performing on a stage decorated with garland and lights, with illuminated Christmas trees behind them at night

Enjoyed winter fireworks at Loring Park for Holidazzle tonight!

I like to use emoji to bring fun to unexpected places on my devices. Command line prompts, OmniFocus tags. My new favorite is emoji folder names for my Favorite boomarks in Safari. 👍

It would be a fun trick for Mail on iOS to allow you to specify a Shortcut for your email signature, which could generate a dynamic signature for each new mail message.
