    Merry Christmas!

    I'm quite late as it's already Christmas eve, sending out the digital Christmas wish this year but in this case it just means that I was way too busy with other things. Let's say I'm late for the good cause. Even with all the preparation I did buying gifts for the little one with enough time ahead, I still managed to have "Santa's Elf" duties this afternoon because I didn't pack all gifts yet and realised I also had to add some funny rhymes as well.

    Thankfully for me, my daughter kidnapped her dad to buy something for me, leaving me with the house to myself and just enough time to pack all remaining gifts. Now that it's Christmas eve, all that's left is add the finishing touch to the packages and write the rhymes (with some help of chatgtp to get me started) and then hope for the best tomorrow. I'm pretty sure she'll love everything though.

    Secret Santa 2024

    This is my first year joining the Silver Gold Stackers secret Santa initiative and even though I know my gift was delivered in time, sadly Santa thought I wasn't that great this year and didn't get my present here in time. Or it could be that some flaws in the mail delivery services are behind the late delivery. Either way, I'm looking at this from a positive side because after Christmas, I will quickly forget about Christmas gifts in general and know 100% sure that no matter which day it will be delivered, I will be super surprised as I didn't expect anything anymore.

    So maybe it's even better this way, lol. And let's be honest, it would be hard to look at some gift, knowing something shiny is inside but not allowed to open it until it's Christmas, at least I didn't have to deal with that. I don't care when it arrives, just hoping it's not lost, that's all.

    Christmas greetings from states

    I did get not one but two super cool surprises already in the past weeks though, they also came by mail! And they came from far, namely America! The first one was a very cool card from @dfinney with some cool pictures on it, which I didn't expect but it's been on display since the day it arrived, sadly I didn't find a decent set of cards here until it was too late to ship them out so I decided this year I'd stick to digital greetings and next year I will order custom made ones early on. Thanks for the card though, it was a huge surprise <3

    And then I recieved another card from America which came from @silverd510 and had a shiny gift inside. How cool is that? It made me smile from ear to ear and I'm so grateful to be part of this wonderful community on Hive where other members genuinely send out greetings and even gifts to other members. I truly think you're all amazing, and @silverd510 thank you so much for this totally unexpected but awesome surprise in the mailbox!

    What was inside will be revealed another day..

    To everyone reading this: I wish you a wonderful Christmas with you and your loved ones and I genuinely hope you get to make cool memories that last a lifetime!


    The Christmas greeting is created by yours truly and the cats in the picture are my dear Maesi (left) and Luna (right). Maesi is mostly amazed by the upside down Elf...
