    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    As one of the biggest Disney fans, mine of course had to be Mickey Mouse with a Christmas hat! :3

    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 ❤

    Ok, smarty! :p

    It is not so easy for novices like me =)

    What programme(s) do you use to make it?

    I think you are doing a wonderful job! <3

    For anyone who wants to know what I used for it, I used Bitmoji which is a free app that you can get on your phone. If anyone would like me to make them a Bitmoji avatar then feel free to PM me with the skin colour, hair colour, hair length, hairstyle, top colour, bottoms colour, shoe colour and what you would like the avatar to be doing (riding a reindeer, being a reindeer, being a gingerbread man, making a snow angel or a Christmas tree.)

    @Mike I have made you an avatar. It might not be very good but I found your picture on the thing about the staff on the main website. Feel free to choose your favourite. 7ebxcfnjanzo.png

    These are amazing thank you for making them @Dancer! Mike's off for a few days but I'll make sure to send him these so he can see them before Christmas :)

    I’m loving all these Christmas avatars, especially the bitmoji ones haha so cute :)
  • DancerDancer Community Connector Posts: 8,174 Legendary Poster
    Glad that you are liking the avatars. @TheMix Has it always been a thing to be able to change your avatar or was it ever not a thing that could be done?

    @Dancer - I think avatars go quite a way back, you can actually go and use the wayback machine to see what the community looked like back in the day, it first opened I think in 2000, though the most stable captures on there come a few years later... https://web.archive.org/web/20060215234222/http://vbulletin.thesite.org.uk/
