Hello sweeties. ^u^

Holidaaays~

I felt xmasy today and I was wondering, what kind of Christmas traditions do you - all around the world - have? Do you even celebrate Christmas?

For me, I'm not the kind of person that is extremely psyched about it, but I also don't get the people who are hating and bitching about all the crazy jazz. It's just one time a year, why not suck it up and put on a nice face to make the day a bit more brighter for yourself and others. ^^
My family's tradition [some of you may already know from the past 2 years] is to give presents to people and families who really need them. First time it was this big family with lots of children, they can't afford much, so we made big packages with food and presents to give them. Last year it was an old, lonely couple who lived in the middle of almost no where and they needed some things too - food, warmth and someone to talk to. This year is one of those houses, where there is this one ''mother'' who takes care of ~10 children, who don't have their own families. :/ I hope that they will like our surprise presents. ^^
But of course, the 24th December's eve is the same, we all gather together and have nice time. :] Yes, you can actually have good time without presents and all the hassle trying to buy something for everyone. :'D
As for the snow and winter - aaah, I'm so not a fan, the cold really gets on my nerves and snow in my face and that I do not adore. :'D *waiting for the sunny days* I do enjoy spring a lot, but I guess it's too early to talk about that.

Free sketches!

First 5 people, who (pay attention!) will leave a comment related to my today's journal (tell about their Christmas thingies or feelings or anything! :]) will get a free character sketch from me. ^^ I will contact those 5 people afterwards to know what they'd like, but note that it will be a really humble and simple sketch, that's all I can fit in my time. ^^'' Those five sketches will be uploaded as one deviation, so when all 5 of them are done, only then I'll upload. :]
The list's going to be updated when  I've gotten my five people! ^^ (I won't update this journal as new, so there's no extra spamming :'P)

First five people~

you make me feel so guilty ;A;
we only give mum's goodies to family and friends and teachers and stuff.

so anyway, my christmas tradition involves family (now just one great aunt instead of her and my nana and papa) coming over for dinner Christmas Eve. Then Christmas Day, we get up (my brother and parents and I) and open our stockings first. After cleaning we have breakfast and maybe get dressed. Then we open presents underneath our tree and clean up. If we hadn't gotten dressed before, we might use some new clothes (if we received any).
We would go to Supper at my Nana and Papa's house but they moved recently. So we just hang out now, I guess.

:D
