Christmas/Winter avatars

Millie2787Millie2787 Community Champion Posts: 5,194 Part of The Furniture
It’s that time of year again where we all change (if we want to ) our avatars/profile pictures do something more wintery/festive.

Me and everyone else on the boards would love for you to share the picture of yours below so I’ll start this is my one a Christmas cavalier just like my Little dog Louie 💕

look forward to seeing some festive/wintery pictures. :)

    That is such a cute avatar. He looks like Louie as well. Here is my avatar. It is a photo I took of my cat last year when trying to put up the Christmas tree. (And no that silver tinsel was not strangling her.)

They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Loving everyone's avatars! <3

    I decided to go with the one I had last year that was made by the talented @Hann!


    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I think I remember that avatar Aife. Nice to see it coming back.

    Hey Everyone, 

    Great thread! Your avatars are all really cute - I love the animal theme that we seem to have going. 

    I'm all for any excuse to start getting ready for Christmas, so created one too  =) . Keep em coming! I love the way they light up the boards.

    Sooo...I have literally changed my avatar for the first time in 4 years, as was quite attached to my old one. Would anyone like to design me a Christmas avatar? If there are multiple submissions, I will put it to a public vote and there will be an amazing prize* for whomever comes up with the design...Will put my avatar up on the 1st of December so all entrants need to be in by the 26th of November :) Good luck!

    Ha @Shaunie - this caused some debate in the office as to what my eye colour actually is, which we think we agree on blue! Some awkward moments of colleagues staring at my eyes.

    Love the bitmoji, strong entry into the competition, setting a high bar :3

    Not sure if this counts as Christmasy, but I went for this:

    Sticking with the astronaut/space theme, but with a brighter snowy/starry backdrop.
