That sounds great, Gelquie!
I’m in the same boat as Snaw - no holiday here in Canada. xD The next time I get a break will be around December 20, depending on how quickly I get through marking 58 exams. (The final exam is scheduled for December 17.)
Wishing all my American friends a happy Thanksgiving, though!
It’s getting colder here now and I find myself wearing three layers most days. I also got a box of instant cappuccino on sale! So I’ve been treating myself to that in the afternoons.

No plans here. Canadian Thanksgiving has already come and gone.

Any nice plans for this week? It's American Thanksgiving on Thursday for me, so I'll be having lunch with the family at my grandma's house. No Thanksgiving in the UK, but I am losing Thundy to it, as he is going to the US to visit his family. So I'm by myself for the week. Not much going on, though I am going to an event on Thursday, which should be interesting. Other plans are not confirmed, but could be nice too.

Visiting my oldest friend from middle school at her mom's house in North Carolina. Her company went under this year so she's job hunting for video game design jobs right now, but is otherwise in good spirits. She really loves zines and is super artsy. I've been enjoying her art and got to watch this neat Lego building game show last night. It's really great to see her again and to just chill out and relax. One nice thing about moving to Virginia is that she was under 3 hours away.

Happy last day of November! Just a few more hours till we can tear November apart and drop-kick it into a volcano with all the rest of our smelly garbage, so we can have December instead.
(Hey, November was really bad for me.)

With Christmas approaching, I must mail Santa my list of demands.
And I need to feel more comfortable about sharing which dolls I'd like to acquire this Christmas.

I texted Santa* personally one of my demands... And I'm getting it early because it's practical and convenient. =D *my mom
You have a list of demands, and you have dolls. You can add the dolls to the list of demands, and if your demands are not met...!! You will probably just be disappointed.
(Nah, but I feel you on that. There's a few things I wouldn't mind that I don't think I can ask anyone for. I suppose I can get them myself at some point, I'm just prioritizing other things. xD )

They haven't returned the favor, so I think I'd be too rude to say what I want. XD *sets up Bloids' tree* O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely is our Snaw!!

My mom asked me what things I wanted for Christmas at the beginning of last month, but there are so few brand new and available things that I'm interested in having right now... so it was a pretty short list. X'D
(Unfortunately one of the indulgences on that list (chocolate covered coffee beans) miiight not be the greatest thing for me right now, as I've been having some pretty bad reactions to caffeine recently. T_T)

Huzzah for December opening!! *Dusting off ash from my hands that marks the remains of November.* Before I wash my hands of November for good, some replies!
By mentioning your wishlist first, you could start a trend! But up to you. I try to give at least a rudimentary wishlist so that people who still want to give me a present aren't completely lost. xD (But I also tell them one-off treats are fine.)
Alas for the lack of chocolate covered coffee beans. =< I too have to tone down the candy for now for health reasons. All temporary, and I could probably cheat here and there, but I need to minimize overindulging until my gut's set right again.
Maybe I'll experiment with some savory dishes. Or maybe I'll get a nice... fruitcake? ....Month of experimentation. xP
Okay, brb, going to wash my hands of November. Goodbye forever, November 2023. You will not be missed.

I try to give at least a rudimentary wishlist so that people who still want to give me a present aren't completely lost. xD (But I also tell them one-off treats are fine.) My biggest hurdle is seeing if I can get away with asking for some pretty dollies this year after an 18 year hiatus. My past experiences with family and "feminine interests" have been pretty borderline-traumatic, so I'm still pretty hesitant about speaking up. Also don't know if I should ask somebody who may not come over for Christmas (that's another story) for presents since they've already said they want nothing. Don't wanna be a greedy-pants.

downrightdude - Ahh, yeah, I'd probably hesitate in your situation too. Sorry if I made it lighter than it was. (For all my talk of audacity, it's much harder to implement in practice. xP ) That's rough that your family isn't accepting. There's nothing wrong with having feminine interests and liking dollies. There are some really cool dollies out there. (I say that as someone who's not really into dollies myself. They can still be really impressive.)
