It's approaching 11:59 PM on the 25th, so allow me a last-minute "Merry Christmas" for good measure.

Mayhaps a bit late given that Christmas is already upon us, but I don't stop singing Christmas songs 'til March, so what the heck. Post your favorite Christmas songs! Covers, parodies, original songs, particularly Holiday-ish soundtracks, happy, sad, heartfelt, cheeky, whatever you like. If nothing else, it's good filk material for next year.

Here's my contribution:

Steampunk Holiday
Walkers in a Winter Wonderland
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Dustbowl

Oh, and sorry about the thread hijack, Voyd. Wasn't sure if this should be its own thread or not, so I just put it here.

Happy Chrasmas!

My grown-up wardrobe continues to expand! Also I have more Farscape music! ^_^

Phobos got some much-needed socks (not only does he wear holes in them, the cat steals them right out of the drawer and chews on them, too) and a whole boatload of geeky shirts. We are swimming in shirts over here, guys.

Now all I want is to hopefully finish this frelling FMA x HP mission!

~Neshomeh

I now have soft pajamas!

...since I was told the latter also begins today?

I got a bunch of socks, a couple of geek T-shirts (Mega Man, Mario, Kirby, Star Wars), Monster Hunter: Generations, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Amazon gift codes for Wyrd Sisters, Pyramids, and one of the Pathfinder books, fleece-lined pants, and $35 of iTunes gift cards (GEMINI SYNDROME YAY).

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

I got bad news: globalization still didn’t eat my job; workload is rather increasing again. In the bigger picture, that’s actually good news, but I won’t have as much time for doing PPC stuff as I had hoped for.

HG, lost in the Forest of Kar’eer again

*Collapses into food coma*

Black-hole stuff for all of those who want to try it.

It's well past sundown where I am, so it's very official.

To celebrate, I finally finished a holiday filk! I know the thread's over, but I really want to show this to people. I put time into it and actually had to ask Real Life friends for help. This year’s encouragement to write about what agents actually do during the holidays immediately made me think of an old classic which has been a family staple since I was very young. I refer, of course, to Tom Lehrer’s "(I’m Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica”. Concrit is always welcome, of course, but I’d like to request you listen to the original before claiming my rhymes are dodgy :P

I’m spending Hanukkah in Tolkien's Arda,
Lighting candles as I fangirl at Bilbo!
I spent Shavuot Sue-slaying in Gringotts.
Not much fun, I’m glad I’m done fighting that schmo.

These HQ winters, I can’t endure ‘em,
So every year I pack my gear and come out here for Purim!
Rosh Hashana, I spent working in Ravka,
And Yom Kippur in the Klingon Empire,

But in December, there’s just one place to go!
I’ll grab my friends in Bree a-
Nd we will light our chanukiyah;
Like a baby in its cradle,
I’ll be playing with my dreidel;
Here’s to Jay -- and Macabeus!
Boy, if they could only see us
Spending Hannukah
In Tolkien’s Arda, with Bilbo!

--Key hopes you enjoyed reading this as much as she enjoyed writing it and also hopes that you understand why it took her so long to find rhymes.

P.S. A disclaimer: Arda, the character of Bilbo Baggins, and the town of Bree are the creation of J.R.R. Tolkien; the bank Gringotts is that of J.K. Rowling; Ravka belongs to Leigh Bardugo although it’s basically just magic!Russia; the Klingon Empire was created by Gene Roddenberry and I think currently belongs to Viacom? Zarking corporations; it’s Roddenberry’s and his crew’s. And of course: Jay and Acacia created HQ, Jay, and the whole glorious Protectors of the Plot Continuum; Tom Lehrer wrote “(I’m Spending) Hannukah In Santa Monica” -- and, sorry, I love him, but he can keep this piece of ridiculousness.
