Happy holidays from your CS Secret Santa #2! It was so nice to get to know a little bit about you. Sorry for being a little late, but I just posted your present. I hope you had a nice holiday weekend!

Ahh, hello dear!

It was nice getting to know you, too! Hopefully we can get to know each other even better :)

And thanks for the fic! It was cute <3

I hope you had a wonderful holiday yourself!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hope you're having an awesome day with all your loved ones. Due to an unexpected change in my day's plans, your gift will be going up up a bit later in the day than expected. Just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't think I was MIA or something. I'll let you know when it's up. Sorry for the inconvenience! -CSSS#1

Merry Christmas, lovely! And please don’t worry about it! Just have a good holiday with your friends and family! I understand how crazy things can get :)

Merry Christmas Eve! Just wanted to let you know that I will be posting your gift at some point today. Just putting on the finishing touches! :) -CSSS

Happy Christmas Eve! I am so excited to find out who you are and to keep talking. Thanks so much for giving me an awesome gift too!

Hello there, CSSS here again :) That’s a lot of great goals to work on! Your system of one a month is a really good idea. I hadn’t heard of that before, but maybe I’ll give it a try this year! Something I am excited for over break is to travel up to Portland to see my sister and to give my presents to my family. I was able to get them some nice things this year that I think they will like. Have you been able to spend time with your sister? :)

Safe travels! It’s always nice to be excited for family and extra nice to feel good about the presents you got them! We do a present exchange so you only have to buy for one sibling/in-law each year but I almost always end up getting something small for a few others. This year I made perfume for all the girls in the family. When I was in Egypt a while back I bought this flower essence stuff (I am not really sure what it is tbh but the guy said I could make it into perfume and it was a fun souvenir). I got some glass roller balls and made silly little labels for them. I am hoping they go over well. 

I have three sisters. The oldest won’t be coming for Christmas, the older arrived last night with her kids, and the youngest will be here sometime today. Hopefully we will all get some bonding time in. It’s always a bit of a nuthouse when the family gathers so quality time together can be hit or miss.

Happy winter break! (I've no idea when you'll actually get this) I agree about what you said! I think Emma and Killian make each other better and that's what makes them work as a couple, as life partners. I think that my favorite CS moment is outside of Granny's, S3 finale. It was a moment of such honesty and openness between them both, the first real chance that they gave one another. That, coupled with the beautiful music and the voiceover I still get so many feels when I watch it. -CSSS#1

Thank you! I’m so happy to finally be able to relax :)

Oh I know what you mean! That scene always gets to me! That scene is up there as one of my favorites as well!

Less than a week to go until Christmas! I'm excited, are you? I totally get the easy holiday thing, last year my family ordered a catering service on Thanksgiving to make things easier for grandma. What's important is the action of coming together, I think, more than the how. I realized that we haven't talked about the reason we're here: CS. So I ask, what do you love most about these lovelies? What's your favorite moment that they've shared? -CSSS#1

Hey there! Yes, I am very excited! I just gotta get through tomorrow and then I’m officially on break!

The thing I love the most about CS is how they’re kindred spirits and how they’re literally so perfect for each other. And they make each other better, you know? Emma is learning to be open and take chances and allow herself to be vulnerable and Killian has reformed himself from hundreds of years of being a villain. I just love how far they’ve come together. And my favorite moment is when Killian comes back from the Underworld and they’re both so happy :’)

What about you? Got any favorite CS moments? :)

Hi Holli, it’s your CSSS again! My finals went well, thank you. :) I’m happy to say I’ve almost finished your gift! I’m very excited to give it to you and to officially meet you soon. How has your week been? December really is flying by! My New Years resolution this year is to establish a routine for strength training and meditation. I’m gonna try my best to stick to it to become a bit healthier! What are your News Years resolutions? - CSSS ♡

December is flying by and things stay pretty busy the whole month. I am impressed! I have not made that much progress on the gift I am giving my CSSS! Go you! Glad finals went well. It’s always nice to have that out of the way so the holiday can really begin. I am super excited to get your gift. 

That’s a solid NYR. I am actually thinking about being more regular with meditation. My problem with NYR is that I always have too many resolutions and things I want to change. Then I tackle it all at once and get overwhelmed and feel defeated and stop trying. So I stopped doing them BUT this year I am finally out of my super negative mental health space and I feel like making a bunch of them again. Which is kind of a big deal for me. So to keep myself from getting overwhelmed I am planning on doing the system where I just focus on one thing each month. I haven’t made any solid goals yet but I want to work on; being more flexible/paying attention to the functionality of my body, meditation, improve my writing, serving others, be a better friend, learn Spanish, increase my income, move, travel, finish some writing projects, train my dog better, and the list goes on! Yeah...I think this might be a problem... 

So what are you most looking forward to for your break?
