Winter weekend

And color version of my super old sketch as reward for Yaop117 this time)
Ah... holiday mood...
Also, just for interest, does anyone else feel a connection between the New Year holidays and the smell of mandarins?^^

I remember this one! Super fun! ^^ I love to eat mandarin oranges, but it’s usually a Summer thing for me so it doesn’t really remind me of Christmas. =p

Summer mandarins? 0_о Looks like this is something other cuz season of Mandarins harvesting starts from November and goes till February^^ This is 100% winter fruit^^ (But it grows in warm countries of course)

Personally, I associate Christmas with oranges. But hey, both fruits are orange and juicy, so I don't mind having either ^^

this is so adorable! your work is always a genuine pleasure to see personally i dont, but i think oranges are part of some tradition around xmas time. i have some memories of shoving cloves into an orange as a kid for some reason, couldnt tell you why tho

"shoving cloves into an orange" - Heh, want to try the same now X) Don't know why, may be this is just a habit of my family, but from times of my childhood we buy a lot of mandarins for new year celebration and all flat in this times fills with its smell. So mandarins for me are like an integral part of the winter holidays. Anyway it was just random thoughts^^
