It's been a long time since I have been on DeviantArt due to my busy schedule. Usually I've been a lot more active on Twitter, Tumblr, and Discord because the Cookie Run fandom is much more active on those social media platforms than here, but it's nice to visit here once in a while and look back at the memories I made. Those include helping out with featuring artists within projects such as Angels Without Wings and my very own Undiscovered feature series that I stopped many years ago and suggesting Daily Deviations.  I may start up the Undiscovered feature series again, but since high school is making my schedule more and more tight, it might hold until very later on.

Anyway, I don't celebrate Christmas at home that much—my birthday is coming up in a week though—but I do have a Christmas gift that I would like to share with everyone. But first, here are my Christmas gifts that I have received so far:

:bulletblue: A one-month Core Membership, courtesy of Mina-Fox. Thank you, and I hope to improve on my artwork as well!
:bulletblue: The Tom & Jerry Kids Season 1 DVD, courtesy of Gummy Bear from the Cookie Run fandom! Expected to arrive on January 23.
:bulletblue: This artwork by emeruga, also from the Cookie Run fandom! I'm not sure if it's a Christmas gift but it included me, so.. alright :>

And here's my Christmas gift to everyone!

Angel without Wings Award by Nameda

:iconwesley-souza: suggested by FrancescaPoliti & WDWParksGal

''”Wesley takes care of the Groups he's admin in with a tireless devotion, featuring, making contests and finding new ideas to involve people all the time; he puts a lot of effort to find prizes, encouraging members and people in general. He always has kind and sweet words for everyone. He takes the initiative to comment on people’s works at any level they are, always cheering everybody up. He also has a keen eye for details; something you can tell by his amazing digital art gallery, and when he does comment someone else art he always finds the strong points of the work. He provides stocks and resources dedicating folders for it. Regularly he also provides contest prizes and stays involved with all the activities. He’s an avid DD suggester feeling really the sense of Art and the need to share with all the community his passion, many of his suggestions have turned out to receive DDs.” … “An amazing all-around active deviant and true friend, who not only is a high quality artist, but also a wonderful, altruistic person”''

:icontechgnotic: suggested by Andorada & TheGalleryOfEve

''”He’s always had a friendly and warm reaction to people, answering comments around, questions, guiding people, trying to reason and calm down some who were in need of that - this is sometimes not easy, especially in times when people think it is trendy to bully. He was always well composed and even after DA changed the system and he did not post new articles, after a while he slowly started to fill the void with personal journals or status messages, and he was really warm with everybody answering. I find this behavior something to be admired and encouraged. And gestures like this, from his position, have a huge impact on the community around” … “Ron is one of those Staff members who not only does whatever job he needs to do, he warmingly engages with people, helping the whole community feel more inviting!!! You can be new to the site or not-so-new, but he will make you feel at home!!! Not only he’s approachable as a Staff member, but once you get to interact with him from time to time, it is impossible not to feel him as your friend!!! All that makes him extra special, because in an online arena it’s not that easy to find wonderful souls like his!!! It is with great pleasure that we give these Wings to this beloved Angel, congratulations dear techgnotic!!!”''

Angel without Wings Award by Nameda

:iconmouselemur: suggested by Andorada and lucytherescuedcat

"I love the way she talks to people, the fine reactions to every situation in order to make the conversation pleasant and warm! So diplomatic and encouraging all around, yet also clear and direct when needed!
I love the attention to detail in her features, the dedication to showcase art and artists, and the easy going atmosphere she makes in a team! Her openess and flexibility in trying different and often new things which could be beneficial to this community at large. The way she takes us in interesting journeys with her story telling! The fact that you can always count on her to help around, even if this might put herself in awkward situations...

For all these reasons, and many more, I think she is really making everything around her a better and more beautiful place <3 And this is wonderful for dA!" ... "These ladies make such a big difference in the community! What is most impressive, is their ability to give back, being Administrator's to seven different groups, they touch the lives of so many people! Always helpful, being there to lend advice, these sister's are a great team! They provide us with the "Friday Features" that warm our hearts! When help is needed in a quick spot feature, they come to the aid to serve the community. It is truely a great joy being around them! Full of talent, brilliance, giving hearts and spontaneity, this duo is worthy of praise!"

"Aleksandra is an awesome deviant and artists she is involved in a lot of groups and projects , and create a lot of Skins for journals and Custom box codes for people who don't have a Core membership ! isn't this awesome?? DeviantART let you to customize your profile only if you are Core Members, but thanks to Aleksandra (the CSS magician) ... now it's possible to customize some boxes of your profile without a Core membership. This is a great step and a lot of deviants (non-core) will Thank her for this . I like a lot her ''Monday Pixel madness'' and ''Fav Features'' features. She promote a lot of undiscovered artists. She deserve those awesome wings." ... "Ola is indeed adorable. Always there, active featurist, eager to join what ever cool event is trandy at the moment, making things interesting and helping with getting momentum. She is also very open and speaks her mind out in a way which makes you trust her - you know you can expect a nice and sweet feedback from her, but she would also let you know if she sees things differently, which can be very helpful. And I love the way she supports various groups, sometimes from the shadow, with little gestures, which are probably more valuable than she herself might guess... <33
