I am back just to drop the last comic of 2024 - and then I will head to holidays which I will partially spend working on slew of commissions.

(Art commissions open for January forward - everything from comics, to character art, portraits, NSFW, etc. contact: hiisikoloart@gmail.com for more info)

One would think that this means I have fully healed from my surgery ordeal - but nope, I am still in the med. My gut refuses to accept sitting on my work chair so I am propped on a kitchen chair instead, about 30minutes at the time, with a cushion, and a lot of pained wriggling.

But - not just because of the pain, but also because IH, I recommend ham to all of my meat eater Sleepies. Good protein, cooks by itself, not much work involved (unless you want to get fancy with it and give it nice mustard-breadcrumb coating and make some nice ham sauce like me), and while waiting you can have a nap.

Though, the message I want to give for this holiday season is:

It doesnt need to be perfect.

Your house doesnt need to sparkle and be spotless. What ever you are comfortable with is good enough. You don't need to invite everyone over, or even visit anyone. It is okay to just rest up and enjoy whatever treats you find easy to have. You aren't a slop, lazy, or antisocial for protecting your time and energy.

You can use paper plates, chill in pajamas, and watch movies.
Christmas, Yule, Kwanza, whatever you may call it - the spirit is to be merry, to love and cherish, and anyone who says you are doing it wrong is doing the holiday cheer wrong.

It shouldnt feel like work to be merry.

So I wish you all very happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and I'll see you in January.

PS: Please visit my ko-fi if you can, and donate me some holiday cheer.
It would help me in 2025 massively, since I have been sick so much!
