Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Stupendous Solstice, and a Fantastic Festivus! I was never big about holidays as a kid (except Halloween) but I'm really enjoying them more as I get older! Decorating, unapologetically fattening goodies like cookies and eggnog. I put Xmas lights all over my living room so I can leave the lights off in the house and just have the Xmas lights on. It's probably one of my favorite, coziest pleasures from this time of year!
Before I get too off topic, thank you to @Missy, @Rambo, & @Lyxzen for inspiring this week's @BlogHomework! I'm much more of a giver when it comes to the holidays, so I'm not used to making a list of things for myself, but I think I can probably think of a few never-fail gifts for someone like me...
1.) Vid-ya Games!
I spend pretty much all of my spare time glued to my XBox re-playing Borderlands and Skyrim. Games are pretty much my go-to when it comes to holiday gift ideas. This year I have my eyes on a copy of Witcher 3 and the new Pokemon games coming out! (Big surprise there, lol). I wish they would go back to making games designed to be one player. All of this forced-mmo play games are just too much for my anxiety, lol. What happened to split-screen games?? Bah (humbug!)
2.) Life Experiences!
A long time ago, I read an articles about collegiate studies being done on happiness levels. The study said that, by a definitive amount, people are FAR more satisfied when they spend money on experiences instead of on items & goods. I've thought about this more and more since I read this article and found it be so very true that I actually started changing my life priorities! Now, every time I have extra cash I'd much rather spend it on traveling or going and doing something rather than on buying something for myself. Photo related: I spent a week in Miami with @GotVape this year and got to visit my first topless beach in South Beach! Way more satisfying than going shopping, in my book! I have to say, it's definitely made for so many awesome memories and I really do think that I'm happier for it! I can't wait to see what travels this next year brings! (If I can afford them :P) So what do I want? Plane tickets and gas vouchers, lol.
3.) To Get My Latest Set Bought! ;)
A pretty obvious choice, but what did you expect? ;) Honestly, I love this set so much and just hope that you guys love it even half as much as I loved shooting it (Thank you @Sunshine!!) @Saturn is one of the only other active SG's that lives in my town, so what are the odds that we actually met off site? lol. Even crazier odds: we're both huge Sailor Moon fans and we both already owned Sailor Scout lingerie! haha. I'd really love for this to be my next live set! It's been years since I've had the honor of gracing the SG front page and this would be a huge motivational boost for me to start submitting more sets, again! Don't forget to check it out when it goes up in just 3 days!! It would mean the world to me!

Whelp, there's my 3 things! My family isn't really doing much for Christmas this year so it'll be pretty low key for me! Because a few people have asked, here is my wishlist for anyone so inclined: https://amzn.com/w/30SYH09UITZSJ
Please make sure to include your email or your address if you do end up sending anything, so that I can send you a holiday thank you package with prints and goodies to show my gratitude! But, like I said, if I can afford to, I'd rather be the giver when it comes to the holidays!
So, tell me, what do YOU want for the holidays?? ♥
