[holiday] Yuletide and gift mistake

[escritoireazul]

So I just stocked someone's stuffing--no, wait, that's not right, stuffed someone's stocking--for Yuletide, a short little story I both love and loathe at the same time, in a new to me fandom (that makes two for Yuletide this year).

Then I realized I had failed to buy my godson an ornament this year. Which would be fine, except I bought his sister one. So now I have to go to the shops on Christmas Eve. I am so filled with woe on this it is not even funny. I have never had to go shopping this late for a gift from me. (I've gone with J. before on his last minute shopping. I've often spent Christmas Even frantically wrapping gifts for my parents, J., or J.'s mom. I've never had to shop for a gift I had forgotten.)

Now I am waiting for my hair to dry enough to go out in the (comparative) cold, and for the dryer to finish so I have jeans to wear. Sarah told me to go sans-jeans and be a rebel, but like I said, cold, so no.

However, I am still very pleased I was able to write a Yuletide stocking stuffer.

Happy holidays, you guys. I hope everything goes better than you hope.

Happy holidays for you too! Congrats on the Yuletide story, a new fandom? That's brave.

I actually did two new fandoms for Yuletide this year, my original assignment and then the stocking stuffer. I wish I could have done more, but there was only one stocking stuffer fandom with which I was familiar. (I think this means I need to start reading and watching more source material.)

A reason to watch more TV? Brilliant!

And read more books and comics. I knew there was a reason I liked Yuletide!
