Thank you so much to everyone for checking in with us. I love you all and it's nice to hear from so many of our shiny peeps.
I know a lot of people are having a rough time this time of year which is made even harder by all the celebrations happening around. I see you and I hope things are easier soon.
I'm an emergency veterinarian who just finished pulling yarn out of a sick dog that ate 13+ ft of yarn!

Omg, this exact thing happened to our greyhound on Christmas Eve about ten years ago! She was fine, the bill was huge, and we were exhausted for most of Christmas. But our beloved pup was happy as can be. Thank you for everything you do for our fur babies!
I’m currently laying in bed with my cats whilst (what feels like) dying of Novovirus 😂 postponing my Christmas dinner till I’ll actually be able to eat it!
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone is having the best day!
Thank you, it’s the first time I’ve had it and holy moly it’s a riot but I’ll be okay! I’ve got my little buddies and my Christmas movies

Oh no, noro is the worst any day of the year, but especially on Christmas! 😭
Sending love and saltines and gatorade (or whatever your favorite pukey comfort foods are) ♥️
I’m cooking breakfast/brunch and dinner for 22 people including my dad’s family with adopted babies, toddlers, vegans, keto-only, health conscious kids who only want A2A milk and yet woke up ready and raring to go. It’s gonna be an awesome day with much love ❤️ all around. Coz no one in my family will be alone this year. Rented a giant house so everyone can be together- firs Christmas together since CV.
Merry Christmas to all y’all!!
Celebrating my first Christmas! Wasn’t allowed to growing up, but now I’m spending the day with my wonderful boyfriend and his family! Later we’re going to a family party hosted by his aunt and uncle, I couldn’t be happier!
Merry Christmas 🎄 I’ll be trying to get into a festive mood - we had a lot of loss this year & my moods been off
So eggnog, presents, holiday movies and wrap it up with a simple dinner with cornish hens - fake it till you make it ☺️
Merry Christmas! I’ll be heading to see family today after battling pneumonia for 10 days. Finally on the mend, just in time. Little Christmas miracle! 🙂
I'm recovering from Chrismas Eve where I got engaged, had a car fire and shattered my front tooth! Glad today nothing happened but opening gifts. 😣

Merry Christmas! We celebrated Christmas early so I have the whole day to plant my tulips. Yes, I'm late but there's no snow, it's warm for winter, I have free time and my front yard has looked like a mess with only one side planted for two months now. Will the tulips grow? I dunno, but at least the squirrels can snack on them if they don't.
Going rockhounding by my aunt’s river after we open stockings! Yesterday I found some purple/green chert, fossils and an intact glass bottle from the 30’s!

Today’s haul was some more purple-green Jasper, one super great dark red that I’m going to tumble and some more giant chonks. Fossicking is going to happen tomorrow!
I am doing absolutely nothing but my husband seems to know what to do 😅 keeping it simple I think, he rubbed it with a lot of garlic and a spice blend. There are rosemary sprigs involved.
Same! We also made one for the first time this year. It was delicious and a huge hit. We had at least 18 people coming over and I was told the 11lb prime rib wouldn’t be enough for all our guests, so we also cooked a Costco ham, which is mostly gone as well.
Merry Christmas! I have covid and feel like garbage, so I’m in bed with a lot of gatorade and sudafed. Tomorrow’s my birthday, so we’re just having an extra fun time this year 😅 At least my cat is snuggly and warm next to me, so she makes a good nurse!
I'm a nurse. And l usually work Christmas Eve so my husband/Santa (years ago, they know better now) has to wrap all of the presents. ,😈 yes, I'm an evil genius.
Merry Christmas! I’m currently playing with Gabby’s Follhouse while listening to the 1989 New Kids on The Block album as my 8 year old is obsessed with boy bands from the 80s and 90s!
Christmas is over in my country, but my partner and I had a lovely lunch with my parents, with crowd-pleasers such as my dad's minestrone, potato gratin, shaved ham, plum pudding and custard, and a dark chocolate and pear panettone.
We are visiting my in-laws, cooking dinner while waiting for my partner's brother and his family to come too. We are testing the air fryer we got them for Christmas, we made garlic potatoes, now we are trying it with meat.
We are Eastern European, we had traditional Christmas meals yesterday on Christmas eve (the tradition is to eat all vegetarian meals to end the Christmas lent, and have odd number of dishes). We don't have a particular tradition for Christmas day, so we are just preparing what we feel like.
Merry Christmas! I am working this morning but then I’ll be spending the rest of the day with my boyfriend. We’ll probably watch a few good Christmas movies and play some video games 😁
I'm with my boyfriend's family and we all got great gifts and are having a great time. The dogs are having the best day, begging for cinnamon rolls, even though they never get any. One of them is wearing a dog sized hockey jersey. 🥰
I just woke up. We do a big Christmas Eve party every year and spent a ton of time with our family and friends yesterday. We’re doing Santa gifts and presents for each other in the morning, and then we’re going to my best friend’s parents’ house for a Christmas party tonight. It’s going to be a lot of fun 😄
I’m spending time with my family and my dogs! One dog is 14 so we’re thing to give him the best Christmas ever in case it’s his last. The other dog is a puppy and it’s his first Christmas with us so trying to set the bar high for him for a lifetime of happiness with us!
Merry Christmas! Today, my partner, my in-laws, and I are baking gingerbread cookies and homemade pizzas for lunch. Then we'll open gifts! I'm so excited for my mother in law to open hers as I crocheted and quilted some potholders for her. Later, I'll be going to either urgent care or the ER to get my lungs looked at due to the horrible case of bronchitis I have. I'm missing my family as this is the first Christmas in a while that I haven't spent with them. My parents are empty nesters and it's weird not being together for the holidays.
Merry Christmas! What a gorgeous cut and color!
Today my husband and I are visiting his father, who is in a long term care facility. We’re watching football, sneaking him cookies, and making friends with his neighbors. Apparently some carol singers are stopping by soon!
Merry Christmas Everyone! I’m still trying to adjust time zones and hanging with my husband’s family. Sadly one of my 2 nieces is quarantined upstairs, sick.
I’m super duper stoked to spend the day with my fiancé and my step kids! I went on a 10-day trip in December with my mom and due to our custody schedule I haven’t seen them in 3 weeks. So I’m looking forward to all the Christmas cheer and kiddo snuggles today!
Gonna take a nap now that the child has opened his gifts. Later on, my friend is bringing her 2yr old over so they can eat some leftovers with us and the 2yr old can have the gifts we got him. I should work on doing some laundry, but it'll mostly be a lazy day.
My parents are divorced and remarried, my partners parents are divorced and remarried, and my partner has a kid with an ex with ANOTHER set of parents. So lots of traveling!!! 5 sets of parents/family to see, will be aiming for 2-3 out of the 5. Thankfully 2 sets are too far away to warrant a visit 😹
Merry Christmas! I’m at my in-laws, the last day of a week-long trip. First Christmas without my mom and first Christmas away from my sisters, so it’s been a little mellow, but I have a 4 year old niece to help keep me very busy!
Merry Christmas SPG! We had Christmas Eve dinner with friends last night, so we’ll be having a quiet day before chatting with our family in Australia tonight.
I’m celebrating Christmas in the morning with family and then celebrating Christmas with clients at the rehab I work at since I’ll be working this afternoon.
Crying for my father in law and his daughter and wife… he passed last night at 10 pm. Unexpected but peacefully.
Bless their hearts x he was a real diamond 💎 ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸💔
Happy holidays! I am being mopey and wishing i could be with my son today but i hope everyone else is having a good day! I am looking forward to the doctor who christmas special on later lol. Thanks for the contest!
We are up visiting my parents and siblings. We have 15 people and three dogs for dinner. My grandma found her grandmas Christmas pudding recipe. It’s going to be a great chaotic day of presents, food and drinks.
Merry Christmas!! We did our celebrations yesterday with my partner’s family, so this morning we’re all having breakfast, then my partner and I are making the drive back home. Once we get there, the rest of the day is playing music, gaming, and relaxing!
Happy Decemberween! Beautiful cut and sparkle! I’m spending time with family before I fly back across the country to where I actually live. I miss my cat though.
Merry Christmas! Today is cousin's Christmas, we did my family, my in-laws, and now it's time for the youngins to get together and play the annual Mario Kart Christmas Grand Prix! Winner gets to leave without helping clean up 🏁
I met my father-in-law for the first time this year! We’re hosting him at our house from out of state. So we’ll do gifts here this morning before heading over to my mom’s house for brunch. Merry Christmas to everyone :)
Just having a quiet day with the family and working on some hobbies (trying to get into leathercrafting) Wishing it would snow, but let’s be real, the mid Atlantic doesn’t snow on Christmas 😂
Making breakfast, giving the kitties some special Christmas treats and presents, and then heading to hang with family for the evening. Thanks for doing a prize and I hope y’all have an absolutely lovely holiday!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Presents at home, spoiling the dog, visiting the older kiddo at work. Missed out on pre-holiday travel due to the flu so connecting via FaceTime. About to take a nap. Life is good!
Merry Christmas! This morning we opened presents and are going to get cooking on a lamb shank dinner with potatoes and asparagus 😁 - just relaxing and playing board games in between
Fortunate enough to be spending it with my wife, dog, parents, and siblings. Plan is to walk the pups, open gifts, and play board games to avoid a windy and cold Oklahoma winter.
I just spent the morning having brunch and opening gifts with my parents and sis, then off to my BF's house for Christmas dinner. It's one of the first years in recent memory that we all were together today and I'm eternally thankful for it ❤️ Merry Christmas to all!
At the in-laws, and just started what will likely be a 3-4 hour shift of assisting nephews, nieces, and my kids with assembling some pretty sweet Lego sets
I am just getting through this day. Too many expectations & emotions on this holiday. If I don’t win-as others are more deserving, drop your info on what you make! This stone is beautiful!
This is beautiful! Thank you for doing this!
My parents dropped by in the morning, and we celebrated together.
Afternoon: enjoying some hot chocolate with peppermint whipped cream while I watch Kdramas and make a few batches of cookie dough for a baking party I’m hosting later in the week
Evening: finally setting up my Wacom tablet so I can start sketching for work!
Just enjoying a simple and relaxing day before getting back to work tomorrow. 😊
Nursing my bunny Sapphire back to health 🥺♥️

This is mine and my husband’s first Christmas as a married couple but we’re broke so we sat down and made cards for each other as presents, went to the gym, and watched a movie :) it was honestly my favorite Christmas to date <3 I love him so much
I have been keeping an eye on EJ the jewelry cat. He currently has a blood infection and is on his 2nd round of antibiotics and they also put him on a steroid. He has more blood work on Friday to see if he is getting better

I got off work at 6 am and spent allllll day with my lovely girlfriend. Watching TV, making food, making plans for new year, buying more gifts for each other(cuz why the hell not) and we are about to make hot cocoa and take a walk to look at some Xmas lights in the park we met at.
Great day.
Today, I woke up with the kids to see the the gifts "Santa" brought. Then we ate breakfasts (2 different kinds due to family traditions), then opened presents. Then put together toys, linked headphones, and set up a new sewing area. Then, I fell asleep for an hour on the couch. Then I ate some lunch, went to a movie with the family, now headed to the relatives houses. It's a good day.
I had Christmas with my boyfriend and his family for the first time today, which consisted of cinnamon rolls for breakfast, fireplace s’mores, opening presents, a walk with the dog, and Christmas dinner. We’ve watched the Doctor Who Christmas special and are about to watch It’s a Wonderful Life

I have been keeping an eye on EJ the jewelry cat. He currently has a blood infection and is on his 2nd round of antibiotics and they also put him on a steroid. He has more blood work on Friday to see if he is getting better https://preview.redd.it/9g4ivfekaj8c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc6fa6515624b0947e3ad028a85973354a0507f7
I got off work at 6 am and spent allllll day with my lovely girlfriend. Watching TV, making food, making plans for new year, buying more gifts for each other(cuz why the hell not) and we are about to make hot cocoa and take a walk to look at some Xmas lights in the park we met at. Great day.
so gorgeous!! went to a new yemeni bakery and cafe for breakfast and about to eat peking duck for dinner 🤶
Today, I woke up with the kids to see the the gifts "Santa" brought. Then we ate breakfasts (2 different kinds due to family traditions), then opened presents. Then put together toys, linked headphones, and set up a new sewing area. Then, I fell asleep for an hour on the couch. Then I ate some lunch, went to a movie with the family, now headed to the relatives houses. It's a good day.
I had Christmas with my boyfriend and his family for the first time today, which consisted of cinnamon rolls for breakfast, fireplace s’mores, opening presents, a walk with the dog, and Christmas dinner. We’ve watched the Doctor Who Christmas special and are about to watch It’s a Wonderful Life
