Getting ready for the season

[stgulik]

It's my first Christmas on LJ, but I'm already looking forward to spending it with all of you. I know that sounds sappy, but whatever. It's the middle of Thanksgiving break and everything has gone surprisingly well with my families so far. (I'm saying this before seeing my mother today, so perhaps I speak too soon.) I'm feeling unusually sentimental, so bear with me.

* Then visit majorjune for funny and pretty clipart. My seasonal icons are always requisitioned from her!

* Last but not least, I will make a small Christmas gift in the next few weeks, to be shared with you all. Watch this space!

It's my first Christmas here too! I wasn't active here last year, so we'll be newbies together.

A Christmas pressie for us! Ooooh, I can't wait. I know, I know, you should see me shaking boxes....

Thanks for the mention.

In addition to the large images I'm posting this year, I posted a lot of LJ-sized icons and avatars last December, just check my archive.

As much as I enjoy a nice, pretty, traditional seasonal image, I'm particularly drawn to the odd and strange ones, the ones that will make you laugh, or go "WTF?" Or both. ;-)
