Christmas morning, ya'll. We got here again (like it or not!) I usually have a few hours to myself in the mornings before the chaos, so I will post now in case I go down in the trenches of politics, debt accrual (just saw my credit card bill... *whimper*), and a sugar crash that has GOT to be coming, big time. (Christmas cookies for breakfast... really MUST stop doing that.)
Couple of self-indulgent moments here... Thanks go out to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
t_shirt1x2 for all the art, the encouragement, and offers to help fill the days. Really thought I wasn't going to manage that part, but ... cute (ish) kids for the win! To merula31 and lavendarlizard for letting me forgo the (kind of silly, after all these years) 'surprise' aspect of their traditional art, and just making it happen while I furiously wrote. Now... *eyes turnippatch * what to do with this baton I'm trying to hand off? >_>
Second self-indulgent moment. Respect. I usually put something here about trying to turn the season around from all the commercialism crap, and more about whatever it is you are celebrating. But I saw something this morning about the Queen's speech that she will do later today, and that struck me... respect. Respect the people around you... their beliefs, their individuality, their rights. Enough to listen when they speak. Respect yourself enough to speak up when you should. We always used to be a little oasis here of understanding and acceptance. I hope we are still those people no matter how this time of year can jade us. Go forth; make merry. Try not to have to bitch slap anybody. Probably not quite what the Queen will have to say. ^^;
And now, I'll shut up and bring on the fic! Heero POV.
