Happy Holidays and a here's to a Spectactular New Year~

Let's start with the Bean Tax:

Isn't she just the best? And the Bean-iest?

We've been trying our best to enjoy the holidays here~ I made some pretty neat crafts, like these cookie ornaments (which I'm sure you're all familiar with by now if you've watched my twitch streams this last month lol)

I also made some sweet tote bags for my Secret Santa, and I won't lie, I kinda want one lol:

And the cutest little hat for my niece~

And yes, I absolutely need to make more hats like this! I want one for myself, and I just kinda want to see more people wearing them lol. In all sorts of colours~! Stripes, rainbows, patches, big pom-poms, little pom-poms.... ALL the hats~!!!

Ahem.... Got a little carried away there-

Anyways, I managed to get a little bit festive, and decorated the house a bit~ We never ended up getting a big tree, this year, but I did set up and decorate the two mini trees we have, and once I put all the presents we got for everyone under one of them, it started to feel proper jolly~

^ Pictured here, the proper jolliness ^

And I hope I spoiled everyone enough, because wow, I was spoiled this year :) Then, of course, my hooman was in charge of packing while we were leaving the christmas festivities, and managed to forget half my presents lmao. Oh well, guess I just have to go back.

I won't get into any of the crazy family hectic-ness I've been dealing with because, honestly? I'm kinda tired of thinking about it lol. I'm just trying to focus on the streaming/content/crafts/etc. I've been planning, and how to actually start *doing* those plans in 2024. I feel like this year just kicked my ass a little, and I've been barely managing to keep myself together :/ Though, I will say, I did manage to. Keep myself together that is, lol, and I'm pretty proud of myself for that. Little pat on the back there <3

And a little pat on the back for you too, 'cause you kept it together enough to make it to the end of this year, and I'm really proud of you for that <3

So, if I don't see you on the New Year's Eve stream over on the twitch, I hope you have a Happy New Year <3

Here's to 2024 maybe not sucking as much~!!

All the love, and I'll leave you on one final shot of the Bean, mid-chip eating:

You are wonderful. Thank you for making 2023 a little less dark for me <3
