_{Hello everyone and thanks for reading! I hope you all are enjoying your winter breaks and are relaxing at home or with friends, family, and/or loved ones.

Below is a little something that I've decided to give my watchers and good friends here on dA. I hope you like it...even though it might not be as nice as any other present. XD

Dear Watchers and Friends,

First of all, I wish you all a Happy Holidays and pray that many good things come to do in the new year. I hope that you're given the golden opportunity to spend quality time with your family and friends. I have been given that opportunity and I'm very blessed to have everyone in my family here for the holidays.

I know that I suck at giving gifts to my Internet buddies and I deeply regret it. ; w ; However, I do hope that this small letter reaches out to all of those who read it. Please know that I would have loved to give every one of you presents this year but I just didn't have much time because of school and such. However, I do want you guys to know this...

Thank you so much for all your support and sweet words throughout the year. I'm more than thankful to those who read and commented on my venting journals; reading your advice and seeing your words of encouragement definitely made my heart warm and comfortable. It helped me relax for the remainder of the day and lessened some of the depression I had during the bad times with my parents.

You guys, both watchers as well as good friends, are a blessing to me and I'm more than fortunate to have met you guys in all the years I've been here on deviantART. Again, thank you so much for making my stay here wonderful. I hope that I will receive more blessings in the upcoming years.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year to you!

Love,

When French Poodles Attack"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person." – Andrew A. Rooney

"What the...? Who the bloody hell...?"

A begrudging England awoke from his supposedly relaxing nap when he heard the sounds of yapping, followed by a series of rapid knocking, just outside his front door. He grumbled to himself as he trudged to the door.

When he opened the door, he muttered out an angry "What do you want?". In front of him was his little brother America...with a new pet. A poodle, to be exact. And it was especially fluffy.

"...Question. What is that...?"

"Hoho~ You like him? I got him from France! I think I'm gonn
She Loved"When my world is falling apart...when there's no light to break up the dark..that's when I look at you..." - Miley Cyrus

She loved the way he smiled, that bright and warm smile.

She loved the way he spoke, obnoxious and loud at one moment but gentle at another moment.

She loved the way he yelled and patronized her for being too quiet and polite.

She loved the way he saw her as a person and not just a noblewoman.

She loved the way he walked like a peacock, proudly strutting his feathers.

She loved the way his gentle hands touched her head whenever he was proud of her.

She loved the way he praised her in her achievements.

Happy Birthday America"I love my freedom; I love my America." - Jessi Lane Adams

Today was America's birthday, the Fourth of July, or Independence Day in the United States. None of his friends knew how old he was, nor did they want to know. The number would be much too high to comprehend, even though he was young compared to the older nations.

America had invited the nations to come to his house for a birthday extravaganza. He was known for those wild parties he loved to throw, full of junk food and loud music. England, America's older brother, usually complained about the craziness and the "disgusting food" that he cooked but he let it slide for this occasion.
