Nyiana's 12 Days of Giveaways- Day 11 CLOSED

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 24, 2012, 3:03 AM

It's almost over, there are now only two tasks left with today's and tomorrow's. I'm just amazed that I've been able to put up these tasks each day without somehow skipping at least one day.

Yesterday, I asked you to welcome at least five new deviants using the +today page. There were 34 of you who participated, and here is the winning number;

With the number 11, =Allyntu is the winner! She wins either a Fella plushie or a Super Llama plushie.

Now onto today's task.

Today is Christmas Eve, and for a lot of families who celebrate Christmas, it can mean spending time together, going to mass, or any other tradition that they find meaningful.

Today, I want you to explain how and/or why the holidays are meaningful to you.

Just write down what the holidays mean, and you will be eligible to win a deviantartGEAR T-shirt of your choice*

*Depending on availability.

All prizes will be distributed after December 25th

I like them because it's a time to celebrate Jesus' birthday, and also a fun time where instead of stressing over commissions and collabs and art trades, I get to relax and be the 13 year old I am C:

The holidays mean I can actually visit some of my friends who live very far from me. We usually get together with our families and have a dinner party or something.

For me, the holidays are important because my family are all together, and we have fun together, from decorating our Christmas tree to unwrapping presents.

~MewMint20 Dec 24, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Holidays are important to me because it's when the whole family gets together, we share our home with our friends and cook up a feast. We catch up because we barely get to see each other all year?

You are number 45
