: Wow, I've always wanted to visit Japan but now that I know there are not only owl cafes (which I didn't know about) but other animal cafes too, I really want to go! That sounds so cool.

: I hope 2016 is better for you! Seems like this year was a bit strange for many people, not the normal kind of year.

LOL :D I think lot of people forot to check :D But now you can try to find and guess, good luck :D

May house is a mess, I don't know when will I cook, and I stioll have two big boxes to wrap for the kids (Duplo and Wooden railway, yaaay)

:D go and hunt :D

wow, really? you haven't recieved the first one? then please reas my first post and join, if you want :)

oh, that sounds really bad... 2016 can be only better now, healthy and happy :)

Ahh, only a few days left. My husband is so excited about christmas Eve, because of the kids :D

thank you, the same- have a good 2016, i heard that this year was not the best for a lot of people. thank you, but will be stressful is my last year of master, i need to write my thesis and i will have another surgery but after i finish will the uni, cuz after i need like 6 months to stay in bed :))

sounds really busy >.< but at least at the end of the year you will be over both :)

I still have presents to wrap, too @-@ just finished a present for my friend (we'll meet tomorrow and I was away all day long, Christmas party with the colleagues, then doctor's appointment) and BOOM it's almost tomorrow here x-x

No, I didn't get the first one but I'm glad I at least got one of them. :)

Japan's super fun~~ Their food (especially their desserts) is the best I've had... Anywhere! The ingredients they use are really fresh and full of flavor :)

If you're a really big fan of strawberries, you should check out Japan in the winter. Their strawberries are A+++++

Also, there are reptile cafes, parrot cafes, bunnies, cats, dogs, owls, and others!

Getting busy now. Hopefully I'll have time to check out the thread :)

Been cleaning the house all day. Why do we have so much stuff QQ

Also need to buy more decorations... I thought that we had more but ??? Where are they??

according to my experience, you'll find the old decorations when you give up on searching and buy new ones...

Bah cleaning... haven't started it yet, my room is a mess, and have 2 bird cages to clean as well D: but knowing my linnies they'll mess it up asap... so gotta clean them at the last minute >_>

There are so much dust here, that sometimes it has a sandy feeling.

I have to wrap some for oswald too... idk how, and when :D

I'm glad too :)

I'm sure you will :D

Ahh, I always feel, that we had more decorations, but every year it is enough, what we have :D

get some salty water and pretend you're on a beach 8D

I only have 2 presents to wrap, both for my parents. For my bro I have a different idea to give the present 8)

Oh I always get more decorations. And sometimes rotate them. Like I found some this year I haven't used last year (not sure if I haven't found it or just didn't feel like using them...) so I put them on now :D

xD I am so confused!

Went shopping yesterday since my mom wanted more lights on the Christmas tree and ended up buying 32703985 more decorations XD;;;;

Well, at least it was cheap...

Did some more cleaning today and finished setting up the tree (finally). Made some small decorations to put on tables and stuff and now.... I'm done for today zzzzzzz

no, no salty water, just hopping on the sand ;)

go for it, there is still time left! :D

Nah, I was working today, then shopping with my son. but all the presents are wrapped! I have to cook tomorrow, and we will decorate the tree, and do some cleaning. I'm waiting for the evening so much :)

yay tree! We never have the tree till 24th - traditions :C but yay tomorrow we'll have it~

aaah :D that sounds like fun, too :P I have loooots of sand in my room. And salty water, too xD (sand for the birds, salty water to evaporate :P ) I still have presents to wrap, I'm waiting for my family to go to bed finally, but dang they are up till very late... xD and I'm falling asleep already...

Sometimes I think about to decorate the tree earlier. But yeah, it's tradition here. In some families, even that is a gift as well, a surprise for the kids, as they see it only fully decorated. I prefer decorating together

just keep up, they will sleep, and you can finish the wrapping :) I love that part as well. It was so good to collect the gift for the kids and oswald :)

yawns just a few more minutes and I can wrap >w> I hope it won't be too noisy xD

All I can think is something to do with Owls? xD

Oh god, owls again xD My mind is fixated on owls and gryphons recently, I was thinking about making an owl gryphon plush yesterday... (and of course I had a dream, guess what, including owls...)

But yaaay I wrapped presents 8D I'm so ready for Christmas~

nope, I can tell, no owls... maybe next year :D

: Hrnngggggh makin' me hungry for some good dessert... That really sounds wonderful, though. I'm much more of a fan of winter than summer, anyways ;D Take me thereeeeeee XD

: ooooo owl griffons are my fave <3 so pretty >w< I just finished making my mom a little dachshund plush, but I haven't had enough motivation to make a pattern for the little plush griffon I've been wanting to make for a few years XD; (oops) If you were making that plush, would it have a poofy snow leopard tail? :D
