Silent Night? Not in my family!

Happy holidays, everyone. :) I was going to say something here about peace on earth, but then I looked at the news. (And this more than anything is why I really need Midnight Mass on Christmas--I need to be reminded at least once a year why I believe, to know that some people really at least mostly good and friendly and loving.)

Anyway, Christmas loot:

• Main present, still en route from Amazon: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, which I once mentioned in casual conversation with my dad I'd thought about buying but decided against because it was too expensive. I love it when my parents pull shit like that. *grin*
• Cool multi-coloured arm warmers, which will be a nicechange from my black ones.
• Two make-up bag thingies (which I have in abundance and never use, butnever mind that), one in the fugliest green you've ever seen (not complaining, here, btw, I love stuff like that) and one in shiny, classy silver. Ooooh!
• A gift voucher for CDs and stuff.
• Floating candle type thingies that work with cooking oil (socool!).
• Money to put towards my Alphasmart, which is now definitely my "Present For Myself To Buy With B-Day/Christmas/New Year's Money".

Also, from rsadelle, the Nightrunner trilogy, as well as an entry (well, part of an entry, but never mind that) that made me tear up. Thank you so, so much. And for once, I will try not to crawl under my rock when the spotlight hits me. <g>

Drabbles and cards to come ... soon. Posted/sent before New Year's, I promise.

ETA, because I keep forgetting to mention this: Thanks to flabbergast and dine for the Christmas cards, and to rockygrrl for the Christmas Card + All-Purpose Christmas Smut (heee!).

I just read Tintin slash.

My life cannot get any stranger, I don't think.
