OH MY GOD!
That was my reaction when I first saw this! I'm dying! It's amazing!
Unfortunately I don't have a lotta time right now but as soon as I do I'm gonna come back and edit my comment ^^
And of course, thank you so much for the gift! 3

Okay I'm back now! I was just looking at it again and all I can say is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! So so so amazing, that I can't even think of anything meaningful to say XD
Akio and Sanae are perfect; love the changes you did to Sanae and how you still left them displaying their bread :P
Sunohara makes the perfect Santa lol ^^
RYOU: My darling kawaii girl 3 You made her wear red! I love you. I love red. Ha ha XD And I love how you flared her hair out at the ends like she styled it; so cute ^^
I think Nagisa looks lovely, despite how you view her ^^ An elegant long black dress (ADORE the pattern on that one) and all those extra little details...and the dango~
It's true Kyou doesn't look that different with wavy hair :o But it's nice. And I adore how you designed her outfit. Cute dress, long gloves, thigh high tights (with wow detail) and I think I love the gradient on the dress the most! The earrings also catch my eye.
Tomoya! Yeah, he looks the same as usual, but I can't see him any other way :P
Kotomi's hair! Those curls are genius. I swear I could have never pulled off something like this...and you chose the perfect colour for her dress I think :)
Fuuko looks so sweet! Kawaii clothes suit her best ^^
And your Tomoyo...omochikaerii! Ha ha. She looks so darn cute. I'm ready to demand a vector of just her looking like that! (But I won't :P) The twin tails with the outfit and the pose...I love it. I can't get over it.
Wow. All this and I haven't even gotten to the background?
Great job with the curtains. I never would have thought to add a floral pattern like that but it's surprisingly fitting :o And the fireworks and stars are beautiful.
Overall I'd say you've outdone yourself. You should be nothing but 100% proud of this one. And I know I wrote a lot but you so deserve it XD
Thank you so much for the dedication and have a very happy holiday!
