Christmas is around to corner so I have this to say.
I'm very happy to see that everyone has sent their cards to their assignment.
If you still haven't received your card yet, don't worry. Just wait until January 6th to see if the card is just running late. International shipping can be slow, especially during this time of the year. If your card does not get to you by that time, feel free to let me know and I will send you a card. I want to have everyone to receive something.

If your anon took a picture of their card before they sent it, they can post it as well if it seems like the card has been lost.

>This is the first time I've ever eaten a spicy cookie. Definitely a new experience.
One time I asked me sister to get me a cookie, since I was too busy playing Runescape to get one myself, so she brought me one that she poured hot sauce on. It was also spicy.
>I made the mistake of eating 2 packets at once with the 2 full spice packets and it was hell. It was so spicy that I was literally sweating. Milk and water were useless and I was reflecting on my decisions which had led me to that point.
I think the one you sent was around 8,000 Scovilles, yours was probably a few times that.
Just crazy the things people cook up.
>I'll have to let you experience the volcano ramen or another less spicy flavor another time.
The spiciest pepper I'd buy would probably be a bell, so keep that in mind.
>Noted. I'll have to bake some of my own once your supply is up. Thanks.
Good luck, hope they come out good.
I think spiced sweets are underrated. I'm currently making a spiced Tres Leches cake for Christm/a/s. Normal recipe, but with cardamom, turmeric, and nutmeg. Hope it comes out good.

>Runescape
I will double your gp and trim your armor for free.
>It was also spicy.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to have eaten a spicy cookie then. You gotta try salty cookies one day just to have that experience. In one of my experimental batches, I accidentally used cups of both baking powder and baking soda when only teaspoons were asked for. I only found out I made these fatal mistakes when I took a bite out of a cookie and then I discovered it was literally salty. So salty that I had to drink water immediately afterwards. One cookie or one bite was probably 1000% the recommended daily intake of sodium.
>The spiciest pepper I'd buy would probably be a bell, so keep that in mind.
I'll keep that in mind.
>I think spiced sweets are underrated. I'm currently making a spiced Tres Leches cake for Christm/a/s. Normal recipe, but with cardamom, turmeric, and nutmeg. Hope it comes out well.
Sounds good! I hope it comes out well.

>>15594
>I will double your gp and trim your armor for free.
I'll meet you at Fally, world 27
>Salty cookies
I'd make them. I've been making this salty Kashmir chai that's really good.
>I hope it comes out well.
I think it did. I'm traveling for Christmas, so I had to do everything tonight. You'll see it if you stop by the Christm/a/s thread this weekend, or I can post it here if ya want, but it's not witch-related.

Anyway, time to open my cards.

Supremely cute Fran-chan.
Rekka Starship is nice, what's it from?

Made me smile.
Very good card, anonymous.

Really nice attention to detail on the planelegs, those look awesome!

Great scene, I can imagine this playing out.
Impressed that you followed your dreams and got your pilot's license, that's cool.
Thanks for thep in! Definitely pretty neat.

>I am not jolly!
This is great
She's the one that'd really be the most jolly

Your passion shows through, these were some cute drawings.
Rudel's always ready for Neuroi hunting.

So glad that you liked my cards! The first card was fun to make because thinking of a scenario with all three characters showing up was interesting. I thought that it would make sense that Francie would be the most excited about the morning of Christmas. On the other hand, I feel like Grete should have more Christmas cheer. Meanwhile, Rudel would be the one to drink the milk and eat the cookies left the night before. As for the second card, I thought that making Francie the front of the card had to be done again since you she seems to be your favorite character. Makes sense since she is a cutie. I put the second drawing of Rudel with the sharpened candy cane because she would be the one to stab stuff with candy canes. Anyways, I'll open your card on Christmas day.

I heard the song, Watashi no Christmas, on r/a/dio last year and I had to listen to more of the music so I bought the album. I could upload everything else for you to listen to if you wish.

>You'll see it if you stop by the Christm/a/s thread this weekend, or I can post it here if ya want, but it's not witch-related.
Yeah, you can post it here. It's Christmas-related so it's fine.

Damn, these are some very nice cards. You draw very well and the Grete drawing is very cute. The gap moe is very endearing. Good job on getting the pilot's license as well.

Wow! I got a whole doujin for my card featuring my 2 favorite characters, Mio and Kunika! It features the money-loving Kunika learning about the true meaning of Christmas with the help of Mio and it's very cute. It features the action and heart-warming character moments that are expected in Strike Witches. I also really liked the ending too since it subverts your expectations. I guess old habits really do die hard.
This card was really awesome. Noble Witches is my favorite manga and it's so nice to have more moments with Kunika and the others. I also really appreciate the extra effort you undertook to make this card perfect. It must have taken so long to think of the story and to gather all the panels. I liked the extra touch of the gold too.
Anyways, thank you so much for this card and everything else you've done for me. There's just so much love and effort in everything you did this holiday season. You truly understand the true meaning of Christmas. I hope you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I'm glad you liked it! It was fun to make.
Hopefully it was all readable, I had to redo it with some bigger text boxes in a few places.
Here are the full-size images.

I'm glad Secret Santa was a success! It was fun, I'd never done one before. Thanks for hosting it and never giving up!

I didn't get my card yet, but I'm hoping it'll come soon.

unfortunately some one broke into the mailboxes in my appartment a few days ago so I hope the card is just late.

>>15599
>>15598
I'm glad you like them!!! I had a lot of fun drawing them. pretty much got to work the moment I got the address. Its was the first time I inked something by hand and I was super nervous.

I also accidentally made Grete pantsless, but pantsless is the natural state of a witch anyways.

>>15610
I'm sorry that you didn't get your card yet.
I am considering cards to be lost if they have not arrived by January 6th as per >>15592

However, considering that circumstance with the break-in, if your assignment took a picture of your card, I could go ahead and ask your assignment to post the card they made for you if you think the card has been lost. Once that's done, I can start making a card for you. I want everyone to get something.

>>15604
Thanks for the scans, I could read everything. It's just hard to read it with my photos. I'll use the scans for the collage.
>I'm glad Secret Santa was a success! It was fun, I'd never done one before.
I'm glad that you participated! For the first time, you've done an amazing job.

>>15612
I'm not too worried, I think it'll still arrive. I'll wait until the 6th.

>>15610
Are you the anon from South America? I sent it out on November 22nd. If it doesn't come soon, I'll send another.
>>15611
IIRC, Grete canonically lost her last/only pair of pantsu, so it fits!
Nice job for your first time, it was lovely.
>For the first time, you've done an amazing job.
Thanks!

I got a wonderful card today. I am really liking the front of the card. The white on red is very nice.

On the inside of the card are two fantastic drawings of Mio. Mio looks very happy to have received a gift. Her outfit looks good on her and her expression is very endearing too. The Mio on the lower-left corner is also very cute.

>I'll have to give the Noble Witches manga a read sometime.
I definitely recommend giving it a read. I always liked the manga in Strike Witches more than the anime. https://nyaa.si/view/1286247

And the back of the card. I like the addition of the Strike Witches insignia. Anyways, thank you so much for this lovely card! I hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year.

>>15616
That is a very cute mio.

>>15616
Mio is so happy and festive.
Nice card!

Happy new year!

>>15620
Happy New Year to you too!

Happy New Year, anons!

Just received this fantastic and adorable card!

>>15623
...Featuring my favorite witches having the sweetest dreams.

>>15624
...And their ace archetypes, too. They approve, and so do I. Pretty creative and amusing.

I really like all the effort and love put into this card, it's charming and receiving it brightened up my day. Thank you very much, anon. Merry christmas and happy new year!

That's amazing. Some good photoshop skills there. Cute design

>>15623

>>15625
I'm so glad it finally came through! Took a good 6 weeks, but maybe that's normal for right now.
I'm happy that you enjoyed them! I've always been a better hand at photoshopping/editing than drawing, but was concerned it wouldn't be in-line with most people's hand-drawn cards.
It was fun to make, you have good taste in witches.
I'll post the images used here.

I finally got Anons Card. I was so worried that it had gotten stolen from my mailbox which had been broken into about 2 weeks ago. But I'm so glad it came. Thank you so much

>>15631
I do appreciate it, it looks really good. I know you were going for shy, but I love the fact that she looks kind of concerned, I'll think of it whenever I'm about to do something stupid. but its lovely. Thank you.

>>15632
lastly I love ericas nose art hidden on the back.

Thank you again anon.

>>15631
>>15632
>>15633
Lovely card. Lynette in a Christmas sweater is nice.
The Erica sleeping in the corner is cute too. You can even see the erased marks on previous iterations of the Erica so that shows your anon was really putting in the effort to make it just right.

>>15633
Glad you received my card (even if a few weeks late) and happy to hear that you like the drawing as well! Decorating Christmas cards turned out to be very fun and I hope to do it again this year, but I was already getting disheartened thinking one of them had been lost in the mail. Everything turned out fine in the end!

>>15634
>You can even see the erased marks on previous iterations of the Erica so that shows your anon was really putting in the effort to make it just right.
You weren't supposed to see that...

>>15635
It was my first year participating in an exchange like this and I had a lot of fun too.

I would also like to thank World Witches Anon for organizing it.

To anon from RS. I'm very sorry that your package hasn't arrived yet. I sent it on it's way quite late, so who knows if it's still on the way or lost. Next year I'll make sure that I send it early and have a way to track it. It had some other goodies it it as well, so I hope it'll reach eventually, if by that point anything is still usable.
Anyway, I'm quite embarassed now to post the card myself, but I'll do it in my next post. Sorry again for the wait.

Here's your card. It's now way after Christmas, but I still hope you had a nice holiday.

Merry (Late) Christmas everyone! Here is the final collage with all the cards. You guys did an amazing job. There was definitely a lot of love and effort put into each card. That said, I really hope that everyone had a fun experience with this event.
Please let me know if there is anything that can be improved upon if you guys would like to do this again in the future.

Looks wonderful, thanks again for setting everything up.
