Xmas: Thanks so much @trippymane. I feel so grateful to have been included :)
Congrats to the my fellow artists!! (Thinking out loud: Why do I feel like a fraud when I call you "fellow" artists? Like I don't deserve that title??) Your work was inspiring and/or thought provoking. Thanks for creating something tangible from your thoughts and ideas alone.

Shout out to your girlfriend for helping you with the contest results :) And also to our kind sponsors for Hive-dollar-token-reward-things (<---- that's the technical name, right? !LOL )

Luck: Trippy, your new piece of art is awesome. Not just because it looks good, but also (in my opinion) because it's stylistically so different to the last piece you created for Xmas. To me that shows genuinely open-mindedness and creativity when you can switch to drawing/creating so differently. I shall try to do this with my drawing but just entering might be the best I can do. But since I feel stronger in my creative capacity with words, you've inspired me to try new and different things with the way I arrange letters (i.e. write words) ;)

I hope you feel better and better as this year comes to a close and that whatever has you feeling down you can tack it to 2021 and let it disappear with the passing year. Here's hoping. Much !LUV

BTW, @new.things is sitting right next to me enthusiastically draw L U C K across a huge white page. I think he's a little bit excited about what this next one could look like :)
