We just finished packing up the last couple of gifts and I already know my family will groan seeing the... mountain.
I can't help, I'm a madman when it comes to Christmas. Too bad I can't overexcessivly decorate the tree because my dad complained about needing hours to everything off again

Anyways, I wish you a merry Christmas, a wonderful day and hopefully with wonderful people. I wish you tasty food, some cosy snuggling with hot cocoa, tea, coffee/addmoreyummythingshere and to have an overall enjoyable day.
I promised myself to speed up with painting to get more comic pages done in time which would mean we could put the first ones online soon. I wouldn't be able to be motivated without all your cheer ups and comments and hugs and some people even send me Christmas cards (special thanks to

and the best meeting in London I could wish for) and again I want to stress out that all those YEARS I've spend on Chubbanimals was ... actually really mainly and only because of you, your feedback, your comments and suggestions.
I love Deviantart for giving me the opportunity to grow it into something -for me- special and keep it personal and stay grounded. I got the opportunity to get some tiny fractions of insights of families and friendships and memories and ideas and dreams and I want to say thanks.
Thanks for being great, for sharing with me and for being... just there.
Anne

(I feel like I'm rambling every year about the same stuff... doh, so much for creative writing)
PS. We were so chaotically drowned in family stuff... I will take care of the contest stuff next week. I need too anyway- no way to get around it- and I hope everybody will be okay with waiting some more days for final anouncement of the winners. Thanks again and I cross my fingers for every entry.
2012 will be great. 100%ly.
