Some of my best Christmases were the ones spent reading.

&sung;Merry Christmas to you~&sung; 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.

Lessee, I finally got a 4th Doctor scarf by Iximaz on 2014-12-26 02:13:00 UTC Reply

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!~

Seriously? I got one too! by KittyEden on 2014-12-26 03:19:00 UTC Reply

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.

I do the same thing! by Niko on 2014-12-30 02:09:00 UTC Reply

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.

Of course it drove the rest of the family nuts. Leave me alone, guys! I have books to finish!

Thread Hijack: Christmas Prompts by Storme Hawk on 2014-12-28 00:07:00 UTC Reply

Sorry, just wondering if the Christmas Prompts were going to be appearing anytime soon.

Oh god, those. by KittyEden on 2014-12-28 01:08:00 UTC Reply

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.)

6 times. Don't laugh. by KittyEden on 2014-12-26 08:21:00 UTC Reply

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.
