Are the little grey arrows to the left of the puzzle lines also part of the puzzle/used to solve it?

@Dorrulf Yes the arrows have meaning. One thing that is not part of the puzzle, however, is the text to make the post 30 characters long

Answer:
First off, thank you @NudgeNudge and @Bard !
The missing letters are jutrw
If we follow the gray arrows for capitalization, we get JuTRw.
If we treat this a little like a small imgur-maze, we get:
Pretty cute :) Happy holidays!

Yeah @DavidStarkey, I figured that out but it was really hard for me to get the game from just the letter, so I went looking for fictional alphabets until I found the ones that fitted :)

It looks like the first line might translate to something like:
It is a ti_e __ __ a__ __eer.
based off of the repeated symbol usage and rhyme scheme. Unsure of what alphabet it is using.
With some guessing that doesn't really fit:
Maybe something like "It is a time of love and cheer"?
EDIT:
Looks like the skyward sword alphabet and the translation then is "IT IS A TIME OF OY AND CHEER"

Looks like the skyward sword alphabet and the translation then is "IT IS A TIME OF OY AND CHEER"
