Merry Christmas! Hope you've all had a wonderful time!

My Christmas celebration has been more or less identical to last year's - down to seeing the new Star Wars movie at the theatre, haha But it's always a good time and I got some truly wonderful gifts this year. Receiving the "Hamilton: The Revolution" book alone made my Christmas Still Hamiltrash, yo. And in a week I get to pick up my gift from myself/my parents - my kittens! <3

You're getting kittens!!! That is super exciting You must post pics when you get them

[Leorgathar]

Yay kitties! That's awesome Kanu, and yes, post pics when you receive them

My Christmas went on nicely, with cousins coming over and doing gift giving games. You basically buy one cool gift and one joke gift, and put them in the table's centre. Then you play a dice game for a chance to win a few gifts, but there's no way of telling if the gift is cool or not, so you're kinda gambling for it (joke gifts can be as bad as anti-flea soaps, or embarassing underwear xP). It's so silly, but hey it's fun

I also decided to treat myself with Christmas money I saved and get a new phone. I finally made the big leap from iPhone to Android, and I'm so enjoying all the freedom it comes with

That game sounds very funny, Leor xD What did you get then?

And yess, I'm getting kittens now. There are many reasons why it's happening now, but it's mostly because I finally live in a large enough flat to keep pets, so I decided to go for it, hehe. Pictures will follow, have no fear

That game sounds very funny, Leor xD What did you get then?

A skin cream with a label that says "Ugliness remover" maybe I needed that xD but at least I also got a box of chocolates, which was nice. Someone got a book that was all cut on the inside like a box, which contained a pair of bright yellow underwear, I'm glad didn't get that There were a couple of Pokemon plushies in the game too, I wish I had won one ><

Haha, it sounds like people at least get pretty creative with the gifts!

Me and my high school friends did a similar game last year, except we were meant to only give "nice" gifts. We're a group of girls, but unexpectedly two boyfriends wanted to join in too and they ended up fighting over a really cool-looking present that unbeknownst to them contained a nail art set Now, of course guys can do their nails if they want! But we know that these two don't generally like it that much, so it was pretty funny to see the looks on their faces as one of them unwrapped it and they realised what they had been fighting over for the entire game xD

My family came to San Francisco again this year to spend Christmas with us, it was really nice!

I drew this doodle on a big white board we have in the dinning room area, a few days before Christmas. I think I might draw new Lion Guard themed pictures there for other future holidays too...


(And that is just a small Christmas Tree, not a massive Kion, haha.)

Happy holidays!
Even though they are over now.

Mine were... Different. Spent 2 weeks in the UK
I'm a creature of habit.
So we skyped with my home on Christmas Eve, which made me feel better about it.
Opening pressies in front of the webcam, lol.

What surprised me most was at new years eve, the Auld Lang Syne thing.
We know this from watching Mr Bean, and we'd find it funny.
I didn't realize its still quite the tradition over here, seeing an entire room do it.

In 33 years I had only been somewhere else for Christmas eve once, and never not been in Belgium for new years.
So yeah, different.

Hope y'all got some nice gifts
