Happy Holidays!
Inspired by smonikkims cute thread here, I wanted to open up a little post office to send out Christmas cards! I love receiving cards irl, though I feel like we get less and less physical cards each year. I also love getting digital cards for Christmas, it makes my heart warm that someone made it for me and I like to display them/look at them. So I wanted to contribute some cards here!
They'll just be some simple cards from my petz to you, nothing super fancy. You have until December 10th to fill out the form below to request a card. As always, my petz to-do/IOU list is very long and backed up by literal months, so I am very not good at making custom (in-game) gifts each year. BUT I can do graphics! And I think it's fun to be able to save them forever and look back at them so I hope you guys enjoy!
Form: Your Name: Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime: Favorite Christmas memory: Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: (e.g., reindeer, santa, mistletoe, snowflakes, etc.) Favorite color:
Anything Else?:
- Two quick things -
- if you don't celebrate Christmas, no problem! You are still welcome to apply, just change the form so that instead of saying Christmas, it says whatever other holiday you celebrate. If you don't celebrate any, you can just substitute "Christmas" with "winter" - I said these cards are from my petz to you, so the cards will, for example, have a dali pic on it and say "from Biscuit." However, if you'd prefer it, let me know if you'd rather the card be from me. Meaning it'd still have petz pics on it but say "from Rebecca"

Your Name: Bunni Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime: The warm glow of colorful string lights, howling snowstorms outside, sitting cozy by the fire, watching Hallmark-style Christmas movies, baking cookies, getting together and eating delicious food with family and friends, listening to various playlists of Christmas music playing in another room, and the feeling that the whole world has slowed down for a bit after a long year. Favorite Christmas memory: Sitting by the tree next to my husband on Christmas morning and unwrapping a beautiful gift he gave me of a snowflake ornament with a hanging Swarovski crystal in the middle of it. We had only started dating that year, and the ornament had "Our First Christmas 2011" written on it. The fact that it said that made me realize that we wanted more Christmases with me and that he was really serious about our future together. The very next year my Christmas gift from him was an engagement ring ;o; Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: Snowflakes and string lights! Favorite color: Pastels Anything Else?: I'd love for my card to say "from Rebecca" (: Thank you SO much for offering this! I love digital petz cards!!! Merry Christmas xo

Your Name: Nyro Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime: I just really like the general feeling of Christmastime, and seeing all the houses with lights and decorating the house, and drawing Christmasy art (which I used to do a lot and I might try to do more of again this year), Christmas baking and hot chocolate Favorite Christmas memory: I can't thinking of anything specific. But pretty much any Christmas we had at the house I grew up in. It was a better time in my life and I have a lot of nostalgia for that place. And when I got one of the plushies that became very special to me in my stocking, a grey and white cat with a Santa hat I named Little Grey (...you may see him show up again somewhere later ) I always loved seeing a plushie at the top of my stocking and I kinda miss it as an adult haha Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: Christmas lights, everything covered in snow, Christmas trees, holly, and yeah reindeer Favorite color: Green Anything Else?: Thank you so much, and Merry Christmas!! ^^

Your Name: Thor Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime: the entire Petz community Favorite Christmas memory: When I was leaving my home for the first time 10 years ago, I left in early December and never got to celebrate Christmas with my family. My sister made me a physical doll of favorite character from a web comic as a "goobye"/"Christmas" gift. I was really touched by her support (the rest of my family basically complained and whined and guilt tripped me about my decision to leave before Christmas). It's the only doll I physically own and I treasure it. Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: Christmas tree being decorated with lights is a nice contrast from the dark green of the tree-- I especially love white and red on the dark green. Favorite color: Green Anything Else?: Thank you for hosting this! I loved the year that smonikkims ran this event <3 <3 Thank you Rebecca for making another wonderful Petz memory!

Your Name: Shaina
Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime: I love blizzards and being snowed in, cozying up in a bundle of blankets with a book and a hot drink, watching my favorite black and white Christmas movies (especially Itβs a Wonderful Life, It Happened on Fifth Avenue, and The Shop Around the Corner <3), Christmas music playing just about everywhere you go, people being kinder to one another and wishing each other happy holidays, baking/decorating cookies, and giving and receiving gifts in the petz community <3
Favorite Christmas memory: My best memories were definitely Christmastime as a kid, just the whole timeline after Thanksgiving leading up to Christmas: getting and receiving Christmas cards in the mail from family (I loved signing our catsβ names on ours next to little paw print drawings lol), driving down Candy Cane Lane in Milwaukee to see all the houses with Christmas decorations, the first snowfall of the season, decorating our Christmas tree with my mom (my favorite part was hanging the candy canes and eating the blueberry flavored ones), getting to open one present already under the tree from my parents on Christmas Eve, waking early on Christmas morning to open the rest of the presents that came from βSantaβ and seeing what cookies he ate and which ones he didnβt and if he liked the milk or eggnog more xD The whole experience of Christmas as a kid was just the best <3
Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: For Christmas specifically I love twinkling multi-colored Christmas lights and stars on top of Christmas trees. But I love the natural aesthetic of winter where I live even more - the sparkle of freshly fallen snow under the light of the moon, snow-covered evergreen trees, melting icicles - itβs all so calming and peaceful to me.
Favorite color: green and purple
Anything Else?: Iβd love if my card could say βfrom Rebecca & [the petβs name]β - I think thatβd be very cute! ^^ Thank you for making these, and merry Christmas to you <3

reading every one of these gives me the warm fuzzies ;-; <3Β Β
Your Name: nebula
Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime:Β cozy ambience music, dreaming of being bundled up in blankets with a warm mug in hand while it snows outsideΒ (it's summer here!) βοΈ writing out christmas cards and planning gifts, and getting to give them! christmas feasts and making chocolate lava (to serve with cream and strawberries) as per family tradition.Β
Favorite Christmas memory: Christmas eve 2014, in Hakodate, Japan. Sitting in a starbucks with a hot mocha in hand after combing through the christmas stalls set up around the Kanemori red brick warehouses in the bay area. They have a huge Christmas event every year with a massive tree, and lights strung up over the buildings to make them resemble gingerbread houses. On the second storey of this cozy warehouse-turned-starbucks, I recall looking up outside when the murmurs of conversation evolved into gasps,Β to see that the first snow had begun to fall. I remember how everyone rushed out of the cafe in excitement, gleefully looking to the skies, giddy laughter from my little sister and even my usually stoic father. I still have a photo I captured of the snowfall and my family friends laughing - it was something out of a hallmark movie β₯οΈ
Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: the lights of a christmas village, the festive hearth of a fireplace, snowflakes, santa hats π
Favorite color: sage green
Anything Else?: I'd love to receive a card from you (Rebecca) ^^ This is a lovely idea, thank you for doing this!

Your Name: Koda
Favorite thing(s) about Christmas/Christmastime: Getting together with friends and family <3 I also just all around love seeing all the decorated sights, whether it be the lights from the Christmas tree in my living room to the beautifully decorated homes which dot the streets at night. I am a sucker for Christmas time in NYC <3 I live not too far from there so I'm able to get a taste of both "quiet at home by the hearth" and "ol' fashion Christmas card" feeling if that makes sense? haha Currier and Ives paintings for instance! There is just something so nostalgic and old fashioned about it <3
Favorite Christmas memory: Every year is a new favorite memory for me haha My favorite thing is Christmas Eve and going to my Aunt's house where the whole side of that family gets together after not seeing each other for what feels like forever! New people join every year whether it be a new neighbor of a family member or new member of the family! We sit around and sing Christmas carols, exchange gifts, bake... it's absolutely magical <3
Favorite aesthetic aspect of Christmas: Nostalgia, old fashion, cozy homes, sitting by the fire, the lights, fresh fallen snow!
Favorite color: Lavender
Anything Else?: I'm shamelessly stealing Shaina's idea & would LOVE for the card to include both your name as well as a special petz name, this way I know it'll always be from you ^^ Thank you so much for doing this!!
