the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[emiistar]

hmm, in myself i'd definitely say resilience/independence/thoughtfulness, and for others i'd probably also say thoughtfulness! maybe christmastime just brings it out in me but tonight i got to open one gift cuz family tradition and it was something i'd really wanted for years passively but hadn't asked for because i honestly didn't think of it at the time, and i just can't believe how intuitive/thoughtful/caring my family members are! they must've just noticed me mentioning it or looking at it in the shops, warms my heart HAH :'))

^ aw, sounds like a really lovely xmas eve night! so glad you're enjoying it, lol i also love christmastime and it's nice to see other people share their special plans and traditions! sorry to hear about your dad tho, that's the worst :( my mom just got over covid and we were convinced we were all gonna get it over the holidays so i kinda understand the feel lol, i hope you guys are still able to make the most of it!
> SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS AHHHH prob barely gonna sleep >.< i don't even really remember what i asked for but i just adore this time of year, all its traditions, and i'm crazy excited to see my family open their gifts tomorrow, i hid some of them as a surprise a-la Christmas Story (if any of yall have seen that movie, i just rewatched it for the 2000th time like an hour ago lol) so i'm psyched as hhhh. although this will be the first christmas without my dog since i was like 5 so that's gonna be horrible :( he loved christmas too, always took such an interest in the presents. ah well, we're keeping his memory alive :')<33
v what are you most excited for about christmas? did you ask for anything in particular (if you celebrate)?

[boyfail]

[nyctophilia]

I've been laying here trying to think of a serious answer for several minutes
I give up
Denji because, well... hehe

^ I'm concerned by you relating to yuri, are you okay
> Merry Christmas<3
v Do you have an irrational fear?

[ChunkyChad]

Yes, bitting into apples. Ever since I had braces I've become irrationally afraid of bitting into whole apples, I have to cut them up. Not even sure why, I know when I had braces I was afraid of breaking them but now I've got no excuse

^ Merry Christmas ^^ (though still a few hours for me till the 25th)
> I did not spin and go into the ditch while driving around to look at peoples christmas lights lets goooo
v Do you decorate your house for christmas? if so do you go all out or just a couple lights? If you don't celebrate christmas do you decorate for any other holidays or have any neat lawn ornaments ?

[vi‎ ‎]

v happy holidays! what are your goals/plans for 2023?

[ZeXaL]

Working on actually transitioning and embracing my femininity...aside from that, mostly just work on my life. I got a long ways to go, but I'll try my hardest.

^ Gender!!!!! Slay
> Playing Minecraft with the pals <3333
v Merry Christmas!!! What's your favorite thing to do during the holidays?

[pandaa]

Merry Christmas!! I think my favorite, although we haven’t done it this year, is going out and driving around looking at people’s Christmas lights! It’s always sort of nostalgic and really cool to do when we get the chance!

^ Minecraft!! and very good outlook and goals!! I’m proud of you and wish you so much good luck completing them
> I should be asleep rn but my brain will physically not let me think about anything else, other than my ocs, Xmas, or writing lol
v tell me your favorite thing about this time of year, or the holidays!

[Disintegration]

I really love how trees and plants outside look around this time! The snow covering the plants looks so pretty. Here's a picture I took where I think it looked super cool out!!!!!

^ same here,, I want to draw my ocs too
> trying to motivate self to draw / also cant stop re-watching Wendigoon's missing 411 videos
v what's your favorite kind of Christmas ornament? why?

[argoen]

I'm big on Christmas trees that reflect the family that shares it, so any ornament that has *character*. We have a Christmas pickle and a lot of nautical-themed ornaments on our tree because that's what we love. Ferry boats, lighthouses, fish, buoys, whales... pretty much anything remotely related to the sea haha

^ Took a really cool picture!!
> Christmaaaaas
v Would you consider yourself to be a good gift giver?

[yves]

i love anything animal-themed. we have so many different animal ornaments on our tree, and my favourite ones are probably the robins, owls and this new felt/stuffed grey fox we got recently.

^ procrastinating drawing,,, i'm not sure what works with you but if you have means of streaming your screen to close friends so they can watch too i've heard that can help :0

not... not particularly, lmao? though i recently started volunteering at a charity shop this year, and i think that's given me a bit of a leg-up in finding "good" presents for a reasonable cost. it's always surprising what kinds of things you can find in charity shops!!

^ happy christmas!
> i am awake. but at what cost.
v happy holidays! moving away from the christmas train, what are some of your favourite memories of 2022?
