I always get a stack of books for Christmas, and I'm usually finished them all within a couple of days of Christmas at the most. There have been several years where I've been curled up in a chair at my Grandmom's house furiously reading while everyone else is doing that Christmas thing. Sometimes, people just don't understand the allure of a new book.
♪Merry Christmas to you~♪ Or, y'know, whatever winter holiday you celebrate.
Let's spread good vibes by telling short, funny stories about winter and presents, OK? Gods know the internet needs good vibes right now.
And I only tripped over it twice! Okay, maybe three times. Five. Shut up.
Anyway, I finally went and saw Into the Woods with a very dear friend who I've not been able to see for a very long time. We exchanged gifts and had a lovely time, and have made arrangements to get together for New Year's. Yay friendship!~
As well as a River Song TARDIS diary that I made myself, and a Pandorica Opens mug.
Plus, a bunch of books. I (rather predictably) finished them all within two hours. Ah well.

Of course it drove the rest of the family nuts. Leave me alone, guys! I have books to finish!
Sorry, just wondering if the Christmas Prompts were going to be appearing anytime soon.
Uh, well... hm. I've been a lot busy. Really. And I am trying to get them put together, but a few people haven't sent them in yet. I'm going to try to get them up before 2015. Sorry about that.
Sounds like you got some nice loot! I already have so many books my relatives just gave up trying to remember what I already have and just send money to buy my own books. :P Poor Nana would have a heart attack if she knew I was gonna get more D&D stuff. Player's Handbook 2 (4e) is the only fourth edition core book I don't have, and then it's on to get 5e! What books did you get? Anything noteworthy?
I did get some used Harry Potter Lego sets and a Gryffindor banner for a future dorm decoration, which is really freaky to think about.
(Seriously though, how many times have you tripped over your scarf? There's no way it hasn't happened at least once.)
And then I figured out how to wear it properly!
I got The Blood of Olympus, the last book in the Heroes of Olympus series, my very own copy of The Dying of the Light, Ruby Redfort: Feel the Fear and a Doctor Who quote book.
