ICYMI: December 9-16, 2016

It’s been a busy week for Imgurians. With new features to play with on our apps, countless incredible Secret Santa posts, and the latest Phil craze, we don’t blame you if you’ve missed some of the awesome posts this week. Don’t worry! We’re here to catch you up.

In case you missed it…

1. Could this be the world’s tiniest star?

In the 80's my father had a thing for making very small christmas stars. Last year my uncle tried to beat him and I think he succeded.

2. After losing both her legs in an awful accident, an Imgurian shared her story of recovery and acceptance.

Cant run from this one..

3. It was a fantastic week for Secret Santas as all sorts of exciting and incredible gifts were sent and received. Here a few special ones but to see the full scale of generosity, visit the topic.

We’ve seen incredible handmade gifts…

My BEST EVER Secret Santa arrived!

…and generous gifts.

Secret Santa came through, my face hurts from smiling so much.

HOLY SHITCAKES

We saw what Bill Nye and the Planetary Society sent…

Luckiest girl in the goddamn world

…and received.

Even people who didn’t sign up wanted to partake in the fun.

As someone who did not register for Secret Santa, I was very surprised to see my Secret Santa gift!

4. We spotted what looks like the early signs of a new trend. Can it survive the winter period?

Remember when you told me what you want for Christmas?

If only…

5. For the first time in history, a rare Ghost Shark has been filmed alive in its natural habitat.

6. The latest new Star Wars movie, Rogue One, was released this week with much excitement from the community.

Rogue One comes out tomorrow, so I drew a thing. (OC)

In honor of Rogue One! Lord Vader at his finest

7. We have long admired Imgurian ChristineHMcConnell for her brilliant creations but we think she may have truly outdone herself with this entirely edible gingerbread castle.

I made a GingerBread Castle 😀

8. This week, Imgurians took the time to shine some light on their partners and their creations.

My SO makes beautiful things, but hasn't been getting any business. Please share his awesomeness with the world.

More of my Girlfriend's Comics! (OC)

9. Dreams really can come true, as this Imgurian found out as she got to visit Hogwarts at Christmas!

I had Dinner in the Great Hall Hogwarts Set!

Another Imgurian also fulfilled a lifelong goal to appear on TV.

I FINALLY DID THE THING I'VE WANTED TO DO MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!

Congratulations to you both!

10. After an Imgurian boasted about a username being free for the taking, a war of Will Smiths raged in the comments.

MRW I realized this username wasn't taken
