The year is coming to an end and since everyone will be going away to visit family & friends, we'll have a two weeks Christmas break. Starting tomorrow, we'll be off work until 4th January 2018. We won't be radio silent though. On Twitter we'll be giving away one Steam key for Crest each day, follow us to not miss it: @CrestGame It's been quite an eventful year for us at Eat Create Sleep and we're thankful for everyone taking this journey with us. 2018 is looking very good so far, with a lot of long-awaited improvements for Crest coming very early on. Since the current work week only consists of two days for us, we decided to give you a little personal outlook of what some of us will be doing during our Christmas break. Happy Holidays & see you next year!

Since we're living on an island I tend to not travel that much throughout the year, I'm happy staying on this piece of rock in the ocean. But for Christmas I go home to the mainland of Sweden and visit old friends and family, even though I'm not that interested in the holiday itself anymore, I think it's a great opportunity to eat good food and meet good friends. Also, I will bathe in a wooden hot tub in the cold outdoors. In old times in Sweden (a few hundred years ago) you usually had a Christmas bath ("Julbad") as a big event. They did it because they didn't wash that often, thankfully Swedes are very clean these days. But, some things stays true still; a hot bath is always nice!

For Christmas I will visit my parents and close relatives who all live here on the island. We will exchange presents and eat way too much, next year I'll come rolling down the hill to the office :)

I'll be taking a Breath of the Wild, trying to find paradise through studying the art of Gorogoa and hang out with some Floor Kids. On the other hand I have some freelance work lined up which consists of localization, editing & writing for other studios. I pretty much use the Christmas break to do other work and take care of things that got neglected over the past couple of months (e.g. Tinder). Besides watching Bitcoin grow, I'll also have a watchful eye over all our social media channels and be present on our Discord server to accompany everyone who needs a chat or just wants to be a little silly. I also wrote a wishlist to Santa. *hint*

I'm looking forward to my holiday. I will visit my family in Stockholm and celebrate Christmas with them and some of my cousins. The things I'm looking most forward to is seeing my brothers open my presents for them and to eat a lot of Christmas food. Especially eat vörtbröd (a bread flavoured with wort) together with Christmas ham... I will also visit some relatives on Åland and eat some more food there... I have no plan for New Year's Eve which I'm going to figure out when I get to Stockholm. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me!

I'm going to spend Christmas with my partner and her family here on the island. Looking forward to lots of good food and some time off. I will also try to finally finish a Witcher 2 playthrough now that I have some time to spare! After Christmas we're flying down to Malmö in southern Sweden where I'm originally from to visit my family and old friends. Really looking forward to it as it has been a year since I last visited. We'll also take the opportunity to visit Copenhagen as it is only a 20 minute train ride from Malmö.

Christmas is almost upon us, and for the holidays I'm going back to my hometown to spend time with family and friends, eat an unhealthy amount of food and watch the new Star Wars movie. I am also planning on reading the entirety of Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, so I'll have my work cut out for me. Next year I'll be back with recharged batteries and ready to make some games! Happy Holidays!
