Until five minutes ago I was under the impression that Christmas was cancelled by which I mean: everyone was going to do their own thing and for the first time ever our Christmas would be myself, The Sister and the Rents.

The Mother just informed me that The Family is coming here on Thursday. Oh boy.

Today I made truffles and nearly burnt down the house. True story. The truffles are delicious, though. I am going to have to make some more for when people arrive.

Tomorrow I have to go to the Community Centre for a couple of hours and then I will officially be on Christmas break. I am going to have to stock up on flour and sugar and eggs because I think the rest of the day will have to be dedicated to baking.

I'm hoping to visit xanitia on Tuesday. I'm thinking this is just about possible. I hope so.

Other things that happened this week: I went to see Baby Cousin in her school play. Zomg, totally adorable! She played a robin. I didn't really understand what happened (she got stirred into a pot, what the hell?!) but I took lots of photos and taped her main performance. I have become one of those people, but I frankly don't give a damn. SHE WAS GREAT.

I should probably go to sleep some time tonight but I'm trying to finish some fics. Two are Spooks fics which have been lying around half-finished since I graduated. The third is a Yuletide Treat which I'm not entirely sure that I'm going to bother with. If it gets done, then great; if not, fuck it. That's Christmas cheer for you.

Speaking of Yuletide, I finished and uploaded both my fics yesterday morning. I felt pretty good about them until I beta'd other people's which were far, far, far better. I know at least three people who are going to get great fics on Christmas day.

Am currently obsessed with Dar Williams' Ocean which she describes as a sea shanty, and which I am describing as masterful.

Oh boy, now that Christmas is back on I should probably wrap those damn presents. Aie!
