@Wildfire: Seeing the reactions on Christmas morning is one of my favourite parts of the day :D It will be weird because going to the Panto is another tradition of ours but we couldn't do that this year. Such a weird year all round! We'll just have to make sure to have an extra good Christmas next year!

@sunny: I'm sorry that your traditions are being broken this year. What's the Pantho, though - restaurant? place? Maybe we can still get a couple of those gift reactions though.

Although I'm buying gifts and there's a pine tree in the middle of our house, it still doesn't feel like Christmas-time somehow :/

@Wildfire: LOL maybe you need Christmas music?
Panto is short for Pantomime, it's basically a live show with celebrities retelling a fairy tale, but it's funny and there's music and pranks and things like that. It's very silly tbh, but it's fun. It's usually for kids but we still go anyway. I forgot it was a British thing, sorry! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantomime

@sunny: Yes, now that you say pantomime, I have a much better idea of what you're talking about. I didn't realize it was a British thing that still happened!

@Wildfire: Yep, every year! They are putting some old recordings of shows on television but it won't be the same </3 ah well!

@sunny: Oh I bet having the recordings shown on TV won't be the same at all, but it's something, right? It sounds like a lovely tradition, TBH. I miss having and doing things like that!!

Yes, Christmas music might help. I will probably put some on as we sort through our ornaments, etc., and try to decorate a little later

@Wildfire: It will still be fun! We usually go on my birthday (27th Dec) but maybe I can watch a recording on my birthday this year.
What is your favourite Christmas music? Do you lean towards the traditional, or the pop style songs?

@MoodyB: Oh I hope so - but that's only a couple days away now, isn't it??
@sunny: That sounds like a plan! You're right in-between Christmas and New Year!!

^^ And you're both December babies!

@Wildfire: 4 more days.
I ordered my own sticker like...2-3 days ago.
I mostly wanted to buy it for advertisement purposes but also my sketchbook looks very naked lol.

Ahhh... the naked sketchbook. That's never a good thing! XD
Also self-advertising! <3

@sunny: Yes, I bet she was - but she got you that year, right?

@MoodyB: LOL - how big a sketchbook do you have? ... and wait - I thought you only did digital art?

@Wildfire: My sketchbook is not for art pieces to post or anything.
It's just for practice.
but i haven't used it since i bought it lmao.
But i still consider only strict digital art as it takes me.....forever to get into traditional.
i only do it maybe...once every couple of months. only if i get the itch to sketch.

it's a hardbound10x14 sketchbook.

@Wildfire: Yes she did :) They let her out for Christmas dinner, but she had to go back in right away.

@MoodyB: 10x14 is a good sized sketchbook, but I've seen them bigger. One of mine is that size, I think, although usually I prefer one that's a little bit smaller. I understand... and I'm of the opinion that it's always a good idea to have a sketchbook on hand!

@sunny: Oh wow. Was it all just because of your arrival? Hopefully nothing too complicated happened at your birth - although I guess that's several years ago now and it's probably a pretty moot matter - lol!

@Wildfire: Idk what was actually wrong, but lots of things went wrong in her pregnancy. I was born by emergency C Section a month early. I wasn't growing apparently, and my lungs were failing. And she had high blood pressure or something. I don't really know, she doesn't like to talk about it much :(

@Wildfire: I didn't actually mean to buy this large of a sketchbook.
I just miscalculate...a lot with online purchases.

I meant to get the 8x10 but my dumb brain thought "maybe that's too small."
and welp..now i have a very large sketchbook.
But the upside. it'll take me ages to finish it lol.

I want to just loosely sketch in the sketchbook as my pencil control is terrible and i often
do short sketch marks because i just am super bad traditionally.
