What Are You Happy About Today?

CHRISTMAS

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Today's been pretty chill for me:

• I went on a car stroll today with my sister and traveled to a couple of roads I haven't been to before. Thankfully, they are all connected to roads that I'm familiar with, so it's nice to know there are some alternate routes to take.
• My dad told me to pick up some food from Swiss Chalet prior to leaving the house to drive. Let's just say he ordered lots of yummy food. After I got home, me and my family gathered together to eat and just had a good time. It's definitely made me full for the rest of the day and I'm very thankful for it. It's moments like these that I want to cherish for a very long time.
• I played ACNH to give presents to my villagers for toy day. It touches my heart when I see my villagers feel happy from the gifts I give them. :')
• Me and my sister watched the first two movies of Home Alone! It's a tradition that we watch the two movies every year and no matter how many times I see it, the funny moments still get me laughing really hard lol. We didn't stop there, though. Because of my sister's friend, we were also able to watch the Polar Express which I didn't watch in many years! I'm honestly surprised how a few people said it looked uncanny as it never crossed my mind that way. In fact, when I watched this movie at a younger age, I legit thought it was a live-action movie, even though there were many scenes that make it obvious that it's totally not the case. Regardless, I got lots of nostalgia from three of the movies I mentioned, and I always seem to find small details I've never noticed before.

I just wanna say to all that I wish you a happy holiday! ❄

I'm happy about being able to celebrate Christmas Eve with my family and opening up all our presents and having our traditional Christmas Eve feast tonight! I'm also happy that I got my booster shot (Moderna) today!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Having a nice, relaxed Christmas since my brother and his godfather can't come over this year (brother tested positive for COVID, but he's okay! ) Visited my grandparents, went home and opened presents.

The new laptop I got from my parents is working great and I'm very happy with it

I'm happy that today is Christmas, one of my favorite holidays!

I absolutely love what I got for Christmas, and I'm looking forward to spending the evening with my husband!

• got some nice stuff for Christmas today, most notably a nice new harness for my dog which has a handle on the back and reflective material. I've also gotten a few really cool eeveelution GX cards from my friend and I'll be getting more soon!
• got to see my brother for a bit today and I gave him the gift I got for him, a beanie baby shark named Crunch (he really likes sharks). he loved it! I'm glad cause I'm on a tight budget rn.
• I binge watched all the AVGN Christmas specials so that was fun!
• I also watched The Santa Clause with my mom!
• I got to really appreciate my plushies today. I've ended up loving the spotted spaniel I just got way more than I thought I would, she's easily in like my top 10 plushies now. I'm thinking about drawing her ☺ (after my coloring page is done ofc)
• I absolutely love my new collectible lineup!! this new candy cane is awesome! I'm usually not a big fan of the candy canes but the purple one and pink one are fantastic

Today has been an amazing day, which is very rare for me to say!

- I had a wonderful small Christmas with my husband at home.
- My husband made a donation to the WWF in my name to adopt a whale shark! I'm the new proud mama to a beautiful shark swimming somewhere out in the ocean that can be protected because of his donation. And I got an adorable plush whale shark to pet and remind me of how much my husband knows me and loves me.
- We had a nice dinner with my husband's family and avoided any drama.
- Everybody seemed to love their presents.
- I still have a whole week off work to look forward to.

• got to see my brother for a bit today and I gave him the gift I got for him, a beanie baby shark named Crunch (he really likes sharks). he loved it! I'm glad cause I'm on a tight budget rn.

I have Crunch too! Good choice! Glad your brother loved it.

I am glad it isn't super cold and snowy out today. Like I know it is Christmas and all, even I like to have a little snow out there, but I am just happy this year there isn't The cold makes me feel horrible. It has been raining here all day so it is pretty cozy. We have been home all day because my spouse is on call, so we didn't have any functions to go too. It is the first Christmas in a long time where I can just be at home and relax the whole day. Been wearing my new pjs that my parents got my last weekend. They are so soft and they properly fit because they haven't been washed a million times. pj pants I have are over 5 years old and fleece so they did shrink over time I needed/s new ones for sure.

This past week has been a blast, but a part of me is glad that it is over. I LOVE Christmas get-togethers, don’t get me wrong, but family gatherings can be nerve-wracking for me.

just eating my inch-and-a-half thick leftover brownies. honestly do you need anything more in life

Today has been pretty boring and crummy for me, but @Shellzilla_515 cheered me up by playing Super Smash Brothers Ultimate and Animal Crossing: New Horizons with me. We had a lot of fun playing Smash with items on and then got to have some coffee together at Brewster’s and listened to K.K. Slider together. On top of everything else from other friends, it made my night.

☾ Had a really lovely Christmas!! My aunt was able to come and visit, and it was fun getting to spend some time with her! I was also finally able to get her into Fall Guys, so now we have another game that we can play together from our own homes! c:
☾ We made a yule log this year! I've never had one before, but I've really wanted to for a while, and it was super good.
☾ Found some new art of a few of my favorite characters!!
☾ I love my first candy cane collectible, and I also really enjoyed the last round of Skye Spies today!

Good day for me today!

• Since so many people were celebrating Christmas, I decided to take this opportunity to go on a car stroll with my sister and mother. Wow, not a lot of cars out on the road and I'm glad I could just take the pleasure driving while listening to video game music! Granted, it was cloudy all the way through, but it definitely didn't dampen my mood. The stroll lasted for a couple of hours meaning I actually drove to different places in far distances.
• Feel free to skip this point. Aside from a few cars I've already mentioned before, I managed to spot two new ones during my stroll! The first one is the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS! Eventually, I managed to spot what could very well be a 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT. Ah yes, I saw an impressive looking car and then you have your average grocery getter lol.
• Played a little bit of Ace Combat X - Skies of Deception.
• I finally got to finish my submission for Cookie's Celebratory Compositions and it got accepted!
• I played Smash Bros. Ultimate and New Horizons with @Midoriya! We were just having fun and having a laugh while chaos was happening in Smash Bros. Regardless of me losing a few matches I didn't care because I'm glad to have lifted up Midoriya's spirits! Eventually, we switched on over to New Horizons and had him visit my island. We both went to Brewster's and was pleasantly surprised a function exists where you sit down to relax, drink coffee together, and pay for others (it's only 400 bells that's really cheap)! After that, we went to K.K. and requested to play Drivin' which is my favourite song! Yes, Shellzilla, we get it, you like cars and driving lol. Overall, I'm glad to have made Midoriya feel much better today.

Due to some circumstances I was unable to get my Christmas tree out of storage to set it up until today. It may seem silly to set up a Christmas tree on Christmas but I wanted to have it up at least for a little while this year and having it up makes me very happy

i haven’t posted in here in like... 30 years lmao, but what better time to start posting again than christmas?! this was the first christmas my family and i have actually celebrated since 2012, and i had a really lovely time!

• alize (my black & white kitten) was meowing outside my door this morning to be let in! i let her in, and we cuddled for a while before she decided to leave. she’s the sweetest, most cuddliest lil baby.
• i also cuddled with mazikeen (my tabby kitten) this evening, which was unexpected as she doesn’t care for cuddles as much as her sister does, but i’m definitely not complaining! i love her so much. <3
• i typically only get and ask for money for christmas, but my parents got me some other stuff this year as well! my favourite gifts are definitely my new adidas t-shirt, lilo & stitch calendar and jack skellington funko pops, but i’m happy with and grateful for everything that i received!

Spoiler: 🎄🎁

• hung out with my family for most of the day! we watched a movie and a few comedy specials on netflix, and played monopoly together! we consumed plenty of food and booze as well, of course, and lots of fun and laughs were had! it was my favourite part of the whole day. :’)
• obtained the holiday candy cane collectible for this year!! it’s by far my favourite one — i love the colour combo so much! i also obtained the nameless snowman collectible as well, and can’t wait to see what its final design and name? will be!

happy holidays, everyone!

⬥ I enjoyed reading these posts here about how how everyone had a great holiday. It makes me happy hearing about the stuff everyone received.
⬥ I received my very first holiday candy cane, and the colors are perfect for it, as well. I really enjoyed the Christmas event this year.
⬥ I played my football game a lot during the few days off that I got. I’ve gotten a bit better at it and I’m really enjoying it.
⬥ I sold two items on eBay for over $200 and they are all boxed up and ready for shipment. I have to take them to the post office in the next few days.

was finally able to tap into my early bird instinct this morning, I left around 6:40am to go get my dog's food (since he was totally out and basically every place was closed yesterday) and I also got some milk for myself (I have to have 1% or fat free but my parents use whole milk) as well as more fried noodles! now I'm wide awake and feeling somewhat refreshed for once

I have a few chores I need to do, like clean the litter boxes, but I'm hoping to take it easy today. here in a bit I'm gonna take my dog for a walk and try out his new harness, it seems to keep him from pulling pretty well but we can really put it to the test later. also need to work on my coloring page for the forum contest.
