This year, my grandmother's mental health really deteriorated. Dementia really set in fast, and she was depressed all the time. So... we got her a kitten! It's this adorable ball of grey-white fluff, and the most energetic critter. Grandma is so much happier, she follows the kitty around all day, brushes her, laughs a lot more. And the kitten just cuddles up to her all the time! I'm planning to spend New Years with them :)

I really got a smile reading the stories upthread, thank you for this :)

These past years have been not been kind to me. Having struggled with assault, depression, anxiety, stress, etc. etc. Luckily, I have an amazing bae who helps take my mind off everything, is very supportive, and keeps me happy. He's the light of my life, and I'm so thankful to have met him. The end of this year has been much better than the rest. There has been many lovely memories. ^^ I've recently gotten accepted into Harvard, so I'll finally be able to continue my studies starting January. (I've been out of school for a year or so, due to the incident and money troubles). I moved into a house with my family as well, the neighborhood is gorgeous. I also went from vegetarian to vegan. c:

Thank you kindly for hosting this. I'll be sure to return the favor. Happy holidays! <3

I had a pretty good year! I marched drum corps this summer and I'm marching indoor drumline this winter! Have a rad lumi ^^ <3

Happy Lumi ! Thanks for doing this, it's very generous! <3

This has not been such a great year for me, but I'll be going to the UK to spend Christmas with my sister, so I'm looking forward to that! :)

A cute thing that my cat used to do in the winter is sit with her paws on her tail to keep them warm. She would do it every time - sit, lift her front paws, curl her tail around her front, and put her paws back down. Too cute! :)

One good thing about this year is that I passed my university work placement year with a commendation, I got a lovely pet hamster called Layton (as the sneaky wee thing knows how to break his tubes open and has me solving puzzles to find him again), and I have a lovely pet rabbit and when she does thing called a blinky it could cheer ever scrooge up!

The last couple of months I picked up baking cookies

Thank you so much for this giveaway! ^-^

Happy Luminaire! May all your secret wishes come true and may your Luminaire time be a peaceful one full of light and love!

I love this special season with all the good thoughts and lights everywhere. I am crafting a lot and gifting decorations and I love to spend hours with it, lavishing the gifts with lightful thoughts!

my dog is cute because she is a Yorkie. Her name is Snickers. The best thing about my year is I went to my first concert since we lost dad in 2013. The concert was Chris Young and so awesome.

I love giving gifts and decorating :D My happiest thing that happened this year was getting married! :D

I have a holiday memory. Once some family members were playing Headbandz. In Headbanz, you're supposed to give clues to what word a person is wearing on their head. Well, one of my aunts was wearing a headband with the word "Rat" on it. My uncle overheard us discussing the rules, and said "Rat!" My cousin then proceeded to throw a pillow at my uncle since you're not supposed to actually someone the exact word on their headband! :D XD

Thanks for this giveaway!

- I'm so sorry your year was rough, but rats are so cute! (presents placed!)

- My cat Ichigo's been having moments like that lately too. It's cute, but can be so frustrating! (Presents placed!)

- My year has been full of ups and downs, but it's mostly been awesome! I got to meet Markiplier and JackScepticEye, my best friend (who I've been in love with for two years) told me she felt the same way and now we're dating, my therapist said he plans on writing me my HRT letter, so despite the fact I had to drop all but one class this semester my year's been good :)

Somewhere on the blog there's an admin page; I'm John! You should be able to check out the content I create from there XD I've made 3 fanvideos, a CRAPLOAD of gifs, bad photosets and a lot of fics XD I'm, um, I'm mildly obsessed.

- Oh my god, I'm so sorry. That's awful, and I understand how scary that is. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts :c

- I'm so, so, so very sorry to hear that, but I'm glad the kitten is helping her! I hope you have a happy new year with them! (presents placed!)

- I'm so sorry. I'm a survivor myself, and I know the emotional and mental impact assault can have. You're very brave, and so very strong, please, never forget that. I mean, hell, you got into HARVARD! That is incredible, and definitely something to be proud of! I'm so glad you have good support as well <3 (presents placed!)

- Oh that sounds like fun! (presents placed!)

- I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been great, but traveling to the UK sounds incredible! I hope you have a blast! (presents placed!)

- Awwww! Your pets sound so cute! And congratulations! (presents placed!)

- Ooooh, cookies are always fun! (presents placed!)

Thank you very much! :) <3 Also could you please tell me what that cat in your tree is called, it's so cute! xD

- That is called 'snapped candy canes' - I thought it was the only one, but I've seen trees with a lot of cute cats in them! apparently there are more X3

- I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! (presents placed!)

- I'm glad you were able to go! (presents placed!)

- Oh, that's monumental! Congratulations! (presents placed!)

- That's certainly a fun memory! Thank you for sharing! (presents placed!)

I'm officially out of funds, but I'm gonna spend the weekend questing/restocking and I'll reopen this on Monday! I hope you guys have a great weekend!

Thank you so much and have a great time around! ^-^

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna look for them! :) Lol one thing that sometimes annoys me about Subeta is that the names and icons of items can be so different from what the item actually is, that it makes it difficult to find what you're looking for. Luckily there is a page that lists all the ornaments, so it shouldn't be too difficult this time ^^

Bumping because I'm open again! I have about 6 mil to spend on gifts!

thank you so much

My cat Cashmere talks to us. He will answer questions and sounds like saying words. Like yes no milk etc.

- awww, that it so cute! (presents placed!)

Thank you for doing this. One of my favored memories during the holiday was going to the sled park. Yes just a huge park with a giant hill. We would sled down it all day until our toes nearly fell off and then return home to hot chocolate and bed.

- that's a lovely memory! Thank you for sharing! (presents placed!)
