you are pitting Jesus and Santa Claus against each other. I am acknowledging Santa as both a mythic symbol of Christ and a cultural legend based upon a real man whose faithfulness to Christ was used by God to grant common grace not just to the people of Myra but throughout the entire world. we are not the same.

#I know anti-Santa people who are not smug but the anti-Santa influencers are getting smugger and smugger each year #my generation was not raised to cope with loss of childhood #pro-tip: it comes back when you have your own children #I know because I get a taste of it whenever I visit my friends’ kids #mobile #x #Christmas #Christianity #history #mythology #let kids believe in magic again #you know what believing in magic did for me? trained my heart to recognize the wondrous when I see it #trained me to accept that I don’t and can’t know everything #trained me to live by the faith of adherence when i cannot enjoy the faith of assurance (Matthew Henry)#I was the only person in any of my friend groups who ever believed in Santa #and you know why I didn’t feel betrayed to find out I’d misplaced my belief? because Santa is real.#someone moves even terrible parents to give good gifts to their children on the same holy day every year #someone moves the imagination to ensure that the darkest week of the year will produce the most ethereal lights #someone moves the ancient and forgotten back into our conscious present minds #and if you’re wondering whether I’m talking about Jesus or Santa that’s a GOOD thing!#that’s the whole point!#the Santa mythos *impacts* people all over the world. and that is an act of Providence whether you believe in God or not

my biggest flex is that my parents never directly lied to me about Santa Claus

#like i was told that hes old and kind and since its christmas the adults wanted to help santa out #so santa taught them the basics and the parents decided to follow the method and give gifts to their children #one on behalf of santa because he loves all kids #one from parents side based on how well you behaved all year lol #'santa' always got me chocolates #my parents got me whatever personalized stuff suited to me #i 100% believed it #when in school others proclaimed santa's not real i was like #duh?? hes old and tired and struggling to survive ofc your parents will step in #like i was so sure #i stepped into reality so gently lol

🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?

I hate surprises, but i love them as long as I don't know they're coming

#i am the worst person to give a gift too like what do you mean you cant tell me??#for years i trained my oldest kid that we couldnt keep secrets from mommy #and dutifully every year at christmas time shed come home and tell me what everyone was getting me #cherish her for that

old friends from my adolescence whom I’ve barely spoken to in 10 years, my beloved

#sometimes I just remember someone and how much of an impact they had on me #I have some gifts from old friends still that every once in a while remind me of them #like this lotr poster I have that I was just now like ‘wait hang on. BH gave me that in 9th grade for Christmas.#‘along with that little wooden figurine on the shelf. that was so thoughtful of him?? how tf IS he? I hope he’s thriving.’#(I’m listening to that kid’s latest album now and my heart is full of pride and fondness. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.)#(and by kid I mean man because he’s 35 now lol but we were 15 then!!)#and my friend MG who just wrote a NOVEL and I’m sortakinda IN IT. like it’s OUR friendship in there and our memories #and I can’t wait for her to publish #(we were a whole group and we’d hang out at the bookstore at the mall and be an innocent nuisance and we’d chat on AIM until morning)#there’s just so many people tho that I still genuinely have so much love for when I think about them #I wish it was really possible to just… send good vibes out telepathically lol #fwoo #personal

Its just like. I just got my drive for animation back today of all days but I've committed to making a bunch of Valentines dolls and I have to finish them early enough so people can order them and have them *arrive* on Valentines Day and AUUUGH.

Just wish my brain worked properly. Yknow?

#I don't hate making dolls but I hate not having enough time to make them to coincide with major corporate holidays!!!#I already missed Christmas!!!!#I need to make money unfortunately!!!!!!!!!#I'm not even kidding if UBI existed I would be churning out so much free shit it would be insane #I genuinely want to make my art as accessible as possible. I want to be the kind of person who makes games and movies for free.#And I'm sad that I'm never going to be able to live a life like that.#I feel like shit charging $200+ or even $50+ for dolls. It's partially why I've gifted so many of them.#But even if I put all my blood sweat and tears into making one *really* nice doll a month #It wouldn't be enough money to live off of.#If I didn't have to worry about money these dolls could be posted *on* Valentines Day or something #Because I wouldn't have to worry about if people would buy them or not #And then I wouldn't feel bad for taking a break #I think what I hate is that I just hate making these dolls in batches. I really love putting a lot of care into just one doll.#But it's impractical unless I'm only doing the 12 inch full sized dolls.#And I wanna make the little 6 inch ones too!!!!#But like. Okay cool. Is $65 a month anywhere near a living wage you dumb fucking artist????#I know people are charging (and selling) 6 inch dolls for almost $200 if not more than that #And I'm very happy for them #But I have neither the talent or following to do that #Why did I think this was ever a good idea again?#I really do enjoy making them. But man this was definitely a turn a lot of people probably weren't expecting #And might even be pissed off about #ITS NOT LIKE I WAS REALLY MAKING SALES BEFORE THAT #ITS NOT LIKE I WAS GETTING COMMISSIONED ENOUGH TO MAKE A LIVING #I just feel like shit and I don't know what to do anymore #I just wanna draw again man...#I want to give up I'm so sick of begging for money on the internet by peddaling shit no one wants and wringing my closest friends dry.#I thought I had the drive for something today but I don't know what's going on in my head anymore #Maybe everyone *would* be happier if I just gave up. Took some soul-sucking job that only left me with barely enough time #To pull some allnighters here and there to pump out the latest Swindle pages

#random personal stuff #a friend going through some family-related complications needs help #so now I get to find Christmas gifts for children #and bake cookies with a teenager #and read to little girls #all of which I'm excited about #there are advantages to being the unattached not-actually-an-aunt with time & freedom to do this sort of thing for other people's kids

I’m trying to put the whole house thing at the back of my mind right now. I’m trying to focus on Christmas. I’m only going to be able to get a couple of things from Dollar Tree for the kids. But if you want to help go to our list or cashapp $txphoenix02

Its kinda weird when conservatives are like "people just don't like funny republicans, why do libs get upset when we put political humor in shows" but all their jokes are just making fun of minorities

#yeah I just watched the first episode of the Santa Clauses #hurts #"we give all the naughty kids gifts now; actually can we change it so all the girls are on the nice list and the boys on the naughty list?#there were so many things with that “politically correct” elf #oh the whole show being a “war on Christmas” thing that's great #look at me I'm yet another person complaining sorry

Fave memory of my grandma:

Christmas. I'm 14 years old. My family is sitting at the dining room table after dinner. My grandma is a liiiittle drunk. Sitting beside me, she leans in to say, conspiratorially, "So, my dear. You're old enough now. Are you hot to trot?"

An hour later, my family is exchanging gifts. I unwrap the one from my grandma. It's a massive pack of jumbo menstrual pads. Like. Diaper-sized 😭

I fucking miss her.

#she was the first of my grandparents to pass away 😞#i always think about her closer to christmas bc we ALWAYS had christmas dinner at her place ❤️#she made THE most incredible christmas dinners every year #probably the best cook i've ever known #she and my grandpa - this is on my mom's side btw - are part of what made christmas so magical for me as a kid #the beautiful christmas tree and the millions of cute christmas decorations all over their house #the thought they put into christmas presents - not JUST gag gifts lol #the way just BEING there for christmas made everything feel special #and i think maybe that's part of why it takes me until like a week into december to actually feel any christmas spirit #they already put up christmas decorations at my work and i just felt miserable walking into my shift yesterday and seeing that #thinking about christmas too soon just feels like a gut-punch reminder #that some of the people that made christmas CHRISTMAS for me are no longer here.#that the magic i felt as a kid can never be brought back.#that my family may have been fragmented then but it's even more fragmented now.#i'm just.....having a lot of feelings rn.#my post #softgothbabe #personal #okay to reblog #(in case anyone wants or wasn't sure idk)#thoughts #sillyposting #(the post not the tags lol)#memories #christmas #nsft ish #laugh tag #(THE POST NOT THE TAGS)#rambles #idk lol bye
