cosmic_llinSo, I've finished work now until 2013! Not going back until January 7th! I'm so thrilled to have a nice long stretch of nothing particular to do. I plan to focus on getting lots of books read, doing some writing, and some craft stuff (with my brand-new sewing machine, aaaah! Early Christmas presents are the awesomest!)
My Christmas shopping is pretty much done. I've been efficient this year - because of the nonsense with my pay date changing, I only really had one payday to work with, so I made sure I did it all as soon as I got paid...
This is the first Christmas I won't be seeing both of my siblings on the day itself - my sister is spending it with her fiance's family. Feels a little weird but it'll be nice to hang out with my dad and my brother, and I think we might make Christmas dinner anyway, especially since when you're vegetarian it's much less stressful because no turkey etc to worry about. Then my sister comes back on Boxing Day.
Also my Yuletide is finished and posted, although I'm waiting on a second beta from a friend familiar with the fandom! And I have one gift story in the main collection and one in Madness waiting for me! *anticipates*

Date: 2012-12-21 11:32 pm (UTC)I have, as you know, no problem at all with turkey, but I had to endure the (seemingly endless) office Christmas BBQ yesterday, watching people cook and eat mounds and mounds of burgers (eww) and sausages (eww eww eww). At least when it was all over we ended up by invitation at the Mogg's, eating yummy potato salad and salad-salad and Christmas pud with brandy custard and watching episodes of Middleman on the huge telly screen her former housemate left behind as a gift :-)
