MERRY ELFMAS!!!!

So I had this grand plan of releasing this whole coordinated cc set of wintery patterns over the weeks leading up to Christmas and then work and sickness got in the way.

So what’s in it?

Shirts, sweaters, pants, dresses, and pet clothes

Snowflake patterns in a variety of colors, a tree and skier pattern, and the pants have plaid swatches too (not entirely happy with all the pants since they had challenges and I am but a novice recolorer)

Things for both frames, kids-adult

Most of it is bgc, but a couple of the kids things are from older packs (the dress and sweater I think). Of course the pet clothes require cats & dogs.

Individual package files can be downloaded from this folder at SFS (always free/no ads)

TOU: Don’t take credit for it. I’d love it if you tagged me if you posted something with my stuff. Feel free to include it in sim dumps/downloads  or deco sims on 2 conditions: it can’t be behind a paywall (even early  access), and I would love it if you would tag me so I can reblog it.

Some designs are edited from a set on Creative Market in accordance with their tos

Hello, Merry Elfmas. I hope you don't mind that this is a little late. Happy New Elf-Year.

*eyes the gifts with excitement* Thank you, this is so kind. How could I replay you? Please let me know.

*smiles warmly* Ethari is in the other room. Would you like me to go fetch him? *departs, softly pokes my head into the room Ethari is in, he meets my eyes with a warm smile and strides over, putting a hand on my waist and giving me a quick kiss before walking over to you and giving you a big craftsman hug*

Hugs for all. Our Elfmas is very warm indeed. We exchange small gifts that are either handmade or foraged from the Moonshadow Forest or just beyond it, but the focus of the holiday isn't solely on giving and receiving gifts. It's about spending time together and cherishing the fact that we are all around to do so. It's also about remembering loved ones who have passed on, and continuing the legacy of their memories through this ritual. You are welcome to join us for Elfmas anytime.

Lachir loves the holidays. She absolutely loves being spoiled, especially by me. Every year she makes it her mission to sniff each and every present under the tree to ensure they're safe before anybody can open them, and nobody can disturb her without getting a quick disapproving scoff or (well-meaning) growl.

She enjoys the holidays by taking long walks through the newly snowy Moonshadow forest with me, hopping along snow banks and seeing how much snow she can avoid getting in her fur as a challenge. She steers clear of icicles, but not for reasons you might expect. One year, when she was only a young Moonstrider, she had become intrigued by the sight of a stabby icicle, and immediately attached her tongue to it without thinking. Before she knew it, she had gotten stuck. I'll never forget the humorous look she gave me, equal parts embarrassed/please help me and 'don't you dare laugh'. It only took a few warm breaths from me to help her get unstuck, and she shook her fur out with a brisk motion without making eye contact before gently pushing her shoulder into mine as a thank you. Rest assured that she got more treats than usual in her stocking as a means of resorting her spirit.

Holidays with Lachir are always very fun; I enjoy her company, and know that she enjoys mine, too.
