EDIT: Submissions are now closed! Thank you so much to everyone who participated!
My lovely, warm-hearted, beautiful readers!☃️🌲🧣 Merry Christmas Eve!❄️
Well, I'll be honest: I just caught up on the comments over the last few episodes, I'm completely overwhelmed with love for y'all, I hardly know what to do with myself. Every day I think about how lucky I am to have you as my readers, and yet I still get knocked flat every time I read the sweet words you left for me. I know I say it a lot, but I could never say it enough, never!❤️ Please know that you're directly responsible for the gigantic smile I'm walking around with, and the love currently exploding my heart. It's Christmas every day for me, 'cause each and every one of you is a gift! Picture me shouting that at you at full enthusiasm, because I am. I startled my nearby cat.
Hm. Or maybe he didn't even notice? Fun fact about having a blind cat: it's hard to tell whether or not they're asleep!
Anyways, this message and accompanying picture of my boy are not solely a big burst of love and gratitude for you, although it's mostly that. I'm also super excited to announce... submissions for the Soft Touch Family Playlist of 2024 are now open!🎶
This has quickly become one of my favorite holiday traditions!☕️🎧 I love
hearing what y'all are listening to, and I love that once again last
year our most-repeated artist was Hozier. This group of readers absolutely rules.🤘
If you want to add a song to this year's playlist (and I hope you do!), just leave a comment on this post with the title and artist for your song submission. Only one song per person, please! As usual, there's no restriction on what kind of song you can submit, so go wild! In fact, there's actually fewer restrictions this time around. Like all things touched by the robots, Spotify Wrapped was completely broken this year, so: no need to use the number one song on your Wrapped. You just pick what you feel was one of your number one songs of 2024! And I'll try to make the playlist on YouTube, too, this time. Give y'all some more listening options!
I really want to encourage everybody to participate! Even if you’ve never commented, even if your comment just has the song info and nothing else - please do it! If you’re reading this, you’re part of the Soft Touch family, and I want you included!✨🍃 Unless this post has been edited to say otherwise, submissions are still open, so go right ahead!
Okay, I think that’s it! Huge thank-you to everyone who participated last year, and everyone planning to this year! I adore you all, and I adore the things we make together!
I'm taking the next few days off for Christmas, but check back anyways - I've got some fan art I'm dying to share with you. If I get a minute, it's going up!
Have the coziest night, and the coziest Christmas!🌙❄️🦉🧦
XOXO,
River
