Title! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus, may you have a wonderful gift-giving season. Unfortunately, my personal Christmas art is going to have to come after Christmas, because I'm only getting money on Christmas day. But, I do have plenty of ideas planned! If you'd like to do a Christmas art for me, go right ahead!! I don't mind at all as long as it isn't too extreme.

I'm probably not getting much exciting this christmas, but getting to see my family and having good food is its own reward. Sad that with age, presents just aren't as fun anymore. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for Christmas, all the presents and cool stuff to open! I always got pretty decent stuff, if not the most expensive gifts, ones that kept little me entertained. Not only are they fun to get, they're fun to give. The joy of seeing a kid's face light up as they see their present... Oh wow, it's one of the most gratifying feelings. I'd compare it to getting the gift in the first place. But now, all I usually want is some socks, some money, some food, and a chance to see my loved ones, which I definitely get. While it may not be as fun, it's certainly a good time of the year, despite the logistical nightmare that is our family's christmas.

Anyways, I wish you all a happy holidays and many good times, not just this season, but with the new year to come, as well.
