The most wonderful time of the year 🎊

The last week ended up being extremely exhausting, but I still was able to enjoy every second of it. Thanks to a fairly popular holiday called Christmas, I was able to see many people who I rarely get to any more these days. I attended two major Christmas gatherings this year, but also just spent a lot of time with my brother while he was in.

Last week was non-stop between blogging on Hive, wrapping presents, going to the gym, and spending time with my brother and parents. When I look back at it all, it's a bit fuzzy. I was able to accomplish many things last week while also remaining consistent with my work here. It took some juggling, but it was really nice having to work around my blogging/designing, rather than a 9-5 job that didn't even care about my personal life.

I'm probably one of the worst Christmas present wrappers in existence, but at least I didn't skip out on gifting altogether. I never did snap a photo of all of the gifts at my mom and dad's house or @flowerbaby's house, but I did manage to snap a quick one of a few of the gifts I handed out. As you can see, I basically just wrapped the items in paper and threw them in a bag with a tag. This is not my specialty, but I did try.

@flowerbaby and I spent Christmas Eve by ourselves at my place. We exchanged gifts and had a great evening together. We both got each other so many cool things and I'm so happy to no longer have my closet stuffed full of gifts

On Christmas day we went over to my parent's house. We got there pretty early and ended up spending over 8 hours there. Luckily there were plenty of animals for @flowerbaby to enjoy. Littleton the Dachshund was in from PA with my brother and his fiance, as was Nala the Chow Chow. Fritz the Pomeranian was at my parent's house like always. They are also currently caring for a stray cat that they named Felix, he was around out on the back deck pretty much the entire time. Oddly enough, unlike last Christmas, the weather was fairly warm on Christmas Day 2021.

I got this cute headwear for my mom and imagined her letting Felix the cat wear it to stay warm outside. Fritz quickly claimed the cute little ears for his own. He actually seemed to enjoy wearing this thing. I'm pretty sure he liked it so much just because it made my mom happy.

My mom cooked a massive meal for us. There were over a dozen different dishes and every single thing was tasteful. I love the holidays because I get to live off of leftovers for a few days afterward.

Next is a shot of my family at my parent's house. My brother Chez and his fiance Kristian are on the far left. My Pawpaw and Mamaw are in the middle left area. My mom and dad are in the middle right with Fritz in her arm. Then @flowerbaby and me on the far right with Littleton in her arms. I guess Littleton decided to move while the photo was being taken because he is a blurry-looking ghost. I love this photo and think it turned out great. Not bad for one of those timer photos with nobody actually behind the lens.

One of @flowerbaby and mine's favorite gifts was these custom Nike By Me. I designed these online and had been waiting over a month to see what they turned out like. I love both pairs of shoes so much. They are very much my favorite colors and I am so hyped to finally be able to wear them.

@flowerbaby had been wanting these Razer Kraken BT Kitty Headphones for almost a year now. Every time we went to Best Buy she would ask for them. Finally, my mom surprised her with these pink headphones with awesome RGB lights. These are the flashiest headphones I've ever seen and they look so cool in person.

The day after Christmas we went over to @flowerbaby's house. There was a lot of gift opening here as well. Plenty of Christmas decorations as well. I am glad that she has an awesome family that I can actually enjoy hanging around and being myself. They are always so kind and I enjoyed being able to extend my Christmas by spending time with them inside of her home.

@flowerbaby with her mom and brother after we ate a feast and finished opening gifts. The food was yummy delicious, I was partial towards the sweet potatoes and broccoli casserole.

@flowerbaby's dog Juno does not enjoy posing for photos. Thankfully I was still able to capture this one of the two together in front of the lit Christmas tree. They are a pretty cute duo, I cannot even lie.

Now that Christmas week is over and my brother is back in Pennsylvania, it is time for me to get back to work. I have a lot of catching up to do with my upcoming posts and I look forward to everything new that I have to come.

We can close this Christmas 2021 recap with an image of me wearing the new sweatshirt that my girl got me. You may have seen it in another photo in this post. We actually have matching sweatshirts thanks to her. It is the official @daltono logo that was designed by @baptisttadg. I am so happy to finally be able to wear this logo when I go places. I am still just as obsessed with the design as I was when I first received the final images from Baptistta. The color on this shirt is so bright and it looks amazing in person.

I hope that everyone had as great of a holiday as I did. I'm lucky to have such an amazing family and life. Thank you to everyone who is involved in my life, that includes anybody who read my blog today here on Hive.

I also experienced this. Nowadays I live alone, and I spent my 29th birthday (2021.09.17) alone, but I spent the Christmas with my brother, and we will probably also spend the New Year's Eve together.

Happy New Year.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Alone time is great, but it cannot be forever. Otherwise...

I hope the same. I spent the Christmas with my brother, and it was good. And we are also planning to spend the New Year's Eve together.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

I know it is an awesome feeling to be able to spend time with your brother. I am thankful every single time that I get to see mine, I only have one sibling. Lucky you to also get to spend New Year's Eve together, I'm sure that is going to be fun.

Thanks for the comment and I am sending you gratitude in Hungary all the way from the USA.

That's awesome man! I love the dog with the ears on its head hahahaha.

Glad you guys had an awesome Christmas! That's wonderful, take that family time and keep it as long as you can, it's precious!

Love the logo on the sweatshirt! We actually just got our own T shirt press machine so we will be making all kinds of our own stuff. We've got a fun logo that we got made that we've been wearing a lot these past few weeks. Hoping to expand it more and maybe produce some cool Hive swag!

That dog Fritz is one of the cutest pups around. Hard to resist him, he is so fluffy and tiny.

This Christmas was another great one. I'm very happy with my life and have a feeling that you are too.

Thanks for the shirt compliment. My logo is something I am very proud of, although it is one of the few things that I didn't actually design myself. I did have a vision and knew that working with another artist would be the way to actualize it.

I've never printed my own shirts like that, sounds like you invested in a machine that could turn out to be extremely useful. I look forward to seeing what you all create with it.

That's great man! We are adjusting our lives to make our own path and doing things on our own so we have definitely been enjoying that and plan to make some great traditions of our own!

I hear you on working with someone else on the logo. I had designed a few things that I thought were cool but working with someone else and giving them some ideas of what we liked and saw the results, we are definitely happy with how it turned out!

The T shirt press is awesome. It was about 200$ or so but we've already paid it off with things we've sold with it recently so we are stoked about that. It's all about being able to make and do things! We are hoping to expand our personal business on the side and the press was one of the pieces. I think ultimately we will have a laser machine and a 3D printer in our arsenal!

I don't know much about 3D Printing, but you should definitely check out this community if you are looking to dive into that kind of thing.

Late Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you, I love my family. Leaving my people would probably be the hardest part of moving away from this place.

Merry Christmas to you as well friend. I have a feeling 2022 is going to be an amazing year for every person involved with Hive. We have a lot of great things coming for us.

My sweatshirt with the logo that you designed is now one of my favorite things in my wardrobe. Even better that she and I can match.
