What Are You Happy About Today?

[Lady Timpani]

I woke up and it was snowing! It hasn't snowed on Christmas day here in years and years.

I’m happy that it’s Christmas today!!! I had a nice big lunch with my family, then my dad came over and we binge watched a bunch of Sweet Home. I also got Ori And The Will Of The Wisps and a Kirby plush as gifts so I’m really happy about that!!

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

It's finally Christmas!!! I got things I would have NEVER expected, being Pokemon Fire Red and Emerald, and a Pride Spongebob Pop Figurine! Also, my friend got a bass so we can finally start practicing together and start to have sessions with the band we made up 6 months ago which is really nice lol

Hooray for stim toys. It is adorable.
This is my favorite stim toy. It’s 3D pin art. I don’t actually make art with it lol I use it for sensory input. I love feeling the pins.

Edit: and I’m happy that my mom liked her gifts and that I watched a good Christmas movie with my partner yesterday over Skype.

I received a gift in the most unexpected place. A cousin of a friend of mine that I share a server on Discord with drew me some art. I've been "Phone Dad" (Earthbound reference) on Skype and later Discord for years, so she drew me as such. It's hilarious that literally everyone thinks of me being in the mafia without me saying anything. LMAO

Warning for a tiny bit of blood.

Spoiler: I haven't keyboard smash in years, but this did it

I love it so much. I'll defiantly have to get her something soon. May I plug her Instagram account? Her art is amazing!

I waited for the evening hours to kick in and showed my parents the Christmas displays around my New Horizons island on the big TV in our family room. They found everything to be really cute, and my mom said Isabelle is the cutest character on my island.

I'm finally getting The Sims 4 after years of wanting it. Best Christmas ever.

I'm also happy that Christmas is over and after I get all the presents put away, I can finally rest for a bit.

Today my husband and I had a nice visit with his parents. After the drama with my family yesterday, this was nice. My husband doesn't have a great relationship with his dad, but his dad gave him a really touching letter explaining that he's finally been properly diagnosed with PTSD (he's a Vietnam vet) and he's getting treatment for it. He acknowledged that he made life hard for his family for reasons that were at least partially beyond his control but he wants to make up for that now. I hope this will mean he and my husband can have a better relationship over the coming years.

Got some nice Christmas presents, had some nice foods, got to play lots of animal crossing, and then finished the evening by playing stardew valley with my boyfriend

Actually feeling somewhat rested so hopefully I can survive boxing day tomorrow

 

[Korichi]

I went out shopping for Boxing Day with my sister and got a bunch of cool things!! I got some cool new clothes and Ori And The Blind Forest!! It was sold out almost everywhere but the very last shop we went to, and it was the last copy too so that was lucky!!

 

[ReeBear]

Honestly really glad my mum's gone home and it's just me and my partner again. We avoided arguments luckily but it can be pretty tense/tiring My body feels awful from pushing too hard over last few days but I think I can relax most of the way to 2021 now ~
Also the collectible reveal was a lot of fun and @Snakeisbaby surprised me with a puppy plush before I went to sleep last night which made me so happy

 

[Imbri]

I'm glad it'll be a whole year until my eardrums are assaulted by "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

The storm that came in Thursday night and lasted all day yesterday is gone, but it got very cold. It was almost 60° yesterday, and today it's 35°. Still, I'll take it sunny over rainy and grey.

My parents all liked their gifts, which I'm very happy about. I had a hard time finding things for then this year, so I was nervous about it.

One more half-day of work tomorrow, then looking forward to R&R and restarting my bullet journal for 2021!

I'm not doing a bullet journal, but I have a lovely day planner set up to go, and splurged on a very nice lap desk to hold everything and write on.

I like the tin robots

Nice! I'm aiming to get back into the habit because I found the act of checking items off to-do lists very satisfying as a student. XD

My S/O and I are dropping off a whole bunch of DIY recipes and fossils to our friend, who is just starting her New Horizons journey. Makes me nostalgic about just starting up the island!

so happy to be home.

my mom got me some of the eternal sailor moon manga and i started the first volume and can’t put it down. brings back so much memories. I don’t feel embarrassed about reading it as i did when i tried watching it when I was in middle school-high school. My sister and dad used to kinda laugh at me or make fun of me for watching this and pokemon, so i never felt comfortable watching it or could admit to myself that i liked the series. and i thought they were pretty cheesy, but @Moo_Nieu helped me realize recently that that is part of sailor moon’s charm and i shouldn’t be embarrassed about liking it regardless of my age or if my family thinks it is weird. Thanks, friend!

Also really happy about all the wonderful messages and presents i’ve gotten from my friends here. I’ll be keeping every single one of these collectibles because seriously it meant so much to me. I’ve been having some off days but these messages and gifts have really helped me cope with my anxiety and depression. I am so grateful to everyone
