In light of pre-holiday stress which sucks the fun out of everything, and in wanting to spend more time with my brother who is visiting from overseas for only six more days, I really don't think I'll have a Christmas deviation for anyone who might have randomly expected it. I know it sounds silly, but in saying this, I feel I've let myself down and whoever might have hoped for something. I've just been feeling pretty uninspired in terms of something festive - and I lately, I get the sense that I've been moving through life a bit dazedly and unfocusedly, just getting through days and from task to task rather than enjoying them.... even when I'm free from school. I'm content now with my brother around, but it still feels like there's something missing, like some part of me has been hollowed out. No, no... no angstiness here. Just... I don't know. Pensiveness? Longing for something I'm not even sure of? No idea. I'm just pretty tired. Honestly? Don't worry about it.

Long story short, sorry for the disappointment, if I have caused any. I really would have liked to wish my online buddies and my watchers here Merry Christmas in a special way... and that's what gets me, too. I end up putting too much pressure on myself to produce something really nice rather than to toss out a silly doodle to all of you devoted folk. I know that if I should do a festive deviation, I should go full-swing... but I'm just don't have the energy in me. And above all, I'm feeling guilty for that, lol.

So my head's a bit muddled up.

In spite of this, I do wish you all (and I DO mean all, because my holiday wishes extend to *everyone*) a very merry Christmas and a year full of prosperity, happiness, and promise. Make the most of it, fellows! I really do hope to get more art out in the future; you can expect it to be 'Mon-heavy, as always.

Thanks for all the support!

Cheers.
