Comment by kasaba: Congrats on the ribbon, lovely story. We have been doing a "trip instead of gifts" for a few years now, but take our trip later in the year when there are fewer people on holiday. Its a great way to really spend quality time with family.
Comment by Yo_Spiff: I didn't enter or vote on this challenge. If you are up for some critique, I see a lot of bad artifacts, most of it around the antennae and eyes. I would have probably not given it higher than a 6 for that. Otherwise, it's a good shot, but I'm a nitpicker about things like that.
