bewizeI managed (somehow) to finish the Yuletide fic I was assigned. The recipient hasn't responded yet, but I'm pretty happy with it and that's good. :)
I also finished the gift fic I was working on and that's gone over well. ♥
Yesterday, I ended up being off most of the day. I finished up a lot of things in the morning, then played Santa for a bit in the afternoon, then went to Pyng Ho for our annual Christmas Eve Chinese Food Extravaganza! I think this is year like... 5 or 6. The family that owns it is awesome and we always end up drinking way past closed, so luckiy, I wasn't driving home.
Then, as an extra bonus, there's a 'blizzard' hitting the southern US, so I can't even drive to AL to visit family. Instead, I'm stuck in the ATL (which I don't really mind at all). This morning was about Santa Clause for M, and it was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time.
We stayed up until late late late last night assembling things that Santa brought - like the red wagon that I arranged a month ago and which is the big hit of the day, I think. He loves it. He's napped in it, put all his other toys in it, and then ate lunch in it. LOL. Victory!
I got gift cards to Starbucks and iTunes and a bunch of gym stuff, which I'm thrilled about. I got a big bag to carry everything in and several pairs of pants and running shirts and jackets and such. S got me a titanium necklace, which is supposed to work wonders, and which I am wearing. So far... all I feel is tired.

YULETIDE!
OMG!
YULETIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I must have been very good this year.
The Electro Menace. Ummm. *freaks out* SOMEONE WROTE ME SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS FIC! *gleegasms* It's got Bobby and Peter and Angelica all being friends and being awesome and fighting crime and yay!
Where the Wind Don't Blow and the Good Girls Die. This is a fic set to the video of The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale and it is so much better than anything I could have ever hoped for. It's sad and bittersweet and touching and it reached inside and grabbed something vital and twisted. But, damn, if it wasn't perfect.
Four Ways Brandon Flowers Never Met Charlize Theron (With Ninjas). So, Brandon Flowers has a thing with Ninjas. And it is awesome. Seriously, the only thing wrong with this fic is that it wasn't written for Yuletide as a whole, because it is AMAZING.
I am seriously thinking of going to nap for a bit. There will be more festivities later, I'm sure, but I'm tired and happy and feeling pretty awesome right now. And then, when I wake up, YULETIDE ARCHIVES!!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, because I sure am. ♥
ETA: OH yeah! The Recathon is complete, with everything being a success. I'll be sure to post links later for the curious. Thanks to everyone for their help! I'll put up something a bit more official about that, too. ♥
