I can honestly say that this is the best Christmas I've ever had, and I have captaincaprag.hircus and Ittam to thank. An I do, I thank y'all with all of my heart and I really, really mean that.
Some of you may think, "Oh Christmas should be about love and being with your friends and your family." For me, Christmas isn't an easy time at all. No, not at all. I live in a household of eight and we have many little youngins running around who still believe in Santa. There's nothing wrong with that at all, please don't think that's what I'm saying. They should be able to just as anyone else. And so, because of that, me and the adults pitch in all of our money to get what we can for them for Christmas. It's so stressful because we live far from town and a lot of our money goes towards gas and my family is very dysfunctional so we don't speak to each other. Not even me and my mother. As much as I try to pitch in and give what I can it feels like it's never good enough.
The kids are smiling and happy with what they got, but I barely make a difference on their Christmas at all. I stay stressed a lot, and have anxiety, so things bother me more often than they should. I visit a family member on the weekends, one who truly cares, and also happens to have WiFi. No, that's not why I come over here. I come over here because she's always been like my mother to me and so I try to spend as much time with her as I can. However, I still have a lot of time to myself so I spend a lot of my time here, on CS with all of you guys. I don't post here often, by I always look at all of y'alls gorgeous art and characters. (I know I should comment more on y'alls stuff, and for not doing so, I apologize. I'll try harder, I promise.) For a long while before I discovered characters, I thought that my Aunt was the only person who cared, and so I went into a deep, deep depression. Then awhile later, I came into contact with characters and that's where you guys come in.
Character, for me, originally nothing more than pixels I used for venting. I learned though that I became to really love these characters a lot. And even almost began hoarding them for awhile. "The character you see are pixels, the character you know is a friend." I've never read anything more true than that, and I was so ecstatic when I found you guys because y'all are like my friends and family.. You know? I don't know any of you, but I care about you all. It's truly amazing to have someone go out of their way to order art for you rather than themselves. My SS's went out of their way, and it just means so, so very much to me. I just want all of you guys to know that you all mean a lot to me and that even though Ittam and Captain played a huge part in making this Christmas the best, all of you did. Because y'all are always willing to listen if someone needs you and you're all so sweet.
I just wanted you guys to know how much you all meant to me, even if we don't actually message each other. If you ever need anybody, or just want to talk about whatever. Characters, your hobbies, whatever, please message me. I want you guys to know I care about you all too. I'm sorry this post is so lengthy..
Merry Christmas to you all, I truly hope that it's a good one.
I love you guys. <33

And she even came with art! I love Meerkats and those Cactus' are just so adorable. Bless Captain's heart, she didn't know how the following art was by, but it's still just all so perfect. If you know any of the artists please just PM me so I can give them credit <3





I feel like this one was done by Mai-Mai-Mari, but I'm not 100% on that ^^;;
