That is a bit creepy drawing, just reminded me Harry Potter's Headless Nick, may be because on Christmas we love to watch it.
I hope you will have some nice surprises for X-mas, some peopole like to do them. Like we did with my mother but it was Easter when we just landed and were at her door at 10pm, she did not believe that we are phoning standing in front of her door and did not want to open. That was a lot of fun for us :)
Hehehe that sounds like a nice and fun surprise, and I hope she didn't let you stand outside too long lol. But my friends and I are bad with impromptu and if we don't plan things ahead, usually nothing will happen. Let's hope there will be some good news soon.
Thanks Stef :).
