Merry Christmas, TBT! Whether you’re celebrating Christmas today or it’s just a day off work for you, I hope you all are having a beautiful day filled with peace, love, and things and people that bring you joy!
One of my favourite parts about Christmas has always been seeing what presents other people get, so I wanted to make another thread this year for people to showcase and talk about the presents they’ve gotten so far!
I usually only receive money, 1-2 non-money presents, and stocking stuffers such as toiletries, candies, and any little knickknacks that relate to my interests that my mom can find and fit in, all of which I’m beyond grateful for! This year though, my mom has truly blown me away and outdone herself!
I received a couple of my presents early: tickets to see Melanie Martinez next June, and a blue axolotl plushie from Walmart! The Melanie Martinez tickets are a big dream come true for me, and I’ve been a constant mix of unfathomably excited and anxious since! I’ve adored Melanie and her music ever since I was in middle school; her songs mean so much to me, and have seen me through so much. I was so sad at the thought that I would never get to hear her perform any of her Crybaby or K-12 songs live, or any of her songs live, so the fact that I’m going to her Trilogy Tour concert here in 167 days actually has me speechless. I’m so terrified, but I’m also so, so excited and grateful! Praying very hard that everything goes smoothly between now and then and that I’ll be able to go and have a good time! The blue axolotl plushie I’ve wanted ever since I first saw it in a commercial that Walmart is airing right now, and I was so pumped to find it at one of my local Walmarts one night! My mom was kind enough to buy it for me, and said it was one of my Christmas presents.
I got the rest of my presents today! I got a mini fox plushie, a box of Toffifee, peanut m&ms, and the most astounding to me… a new iPhone 8!!? My old phone is a 6S, and I’ve been complaining for a while about the battery draining so quickly, most apps becoming unusable since it doesn’t update past IOS 11, I can’t browse webpages etc, but I wasn’t expecting anyone to do anything about it, and it wasn’t a big deal for me. But my mom got me a brand new phone??? It’s an 8, so it’s not the most up-to-date either, but it works so, so much better than my old one did, and I’m so happy!!!! I can’t convey just how shocked and grateful I am properly, but this means everything to me! I didn’t think I’d be able to get a new phone for forever. I was able to set it up earlier, thankfully without too much issue, so now all I need to do is get a phone case for it!
I also received $200 combined from my dad and grandfather, and, this counts as a Christmas present to me, the gorgeous Purple Flower Glow Wand I won from Oblivia’s 12DoC yesterday!!! I’m honestly overwhelmed by all of the incredible things that’ve happened and all of the love I’ve been shown, but I’m so beyond grateful. Best Christmas I’ve had in a long time!!

Minus the concert tickets since those are digital!
