Happy Holidays Were Go

We got up early and went to my grandma's to do presents yesterday - have to do it early so my aunt can go to work at the nursing home. My dad liked his DVD he totally knew he was getting. My aunt and grandparents liked their meat (my dad picked that one). I got:

A water bottle
money
a Japanese porcelain box
more money
a Drosselmeyer Nutcracker ornament
more money

Then my grandparents were going to a friend's, so father unit and I went back to the house, where he watched sports and I unpacked boxes and read Yuletide fics. After dinner, he took me to my mom's (okay, technically new boyfriend's mom's house, but mom and new boyfriend are staying there while she's gone), where there were more presents:

a sticker-maker and several rolls of sticker paper so I can cover my door with Rahm Emmanuel stickers :)
a giftcard to Subway, where I eat embarrassingly often
an embroidered bookmark with my name and initials on that is really kind of totally awesome

And then we hung out. Boyfriend's mom has no internet, so this involved a lot of TV - Iron Chef America, Law and Order, and I even got my mom to watch an episode of Supernatural. Then when I got up this morning it was snowing like crazy, so we spent the whole day curled up on the sofa watching a House marathon. Except we skipped the episode where House and Cuddy are on the plane with the possible epidemic because EW VOMITING. Still, it was lovely and relaxing and I still feel all warm and fuzzy and Christmasy.

Hope your Christmases and other holidays went well!

[Fic] Twas The Night Before Christmas

On the way to grandparents' house on Christmas Eve, I was struck by this very irritating bunny about Booster Gold's letter to Santa. It turned into unrepentant, shamelessly schmoopy Christmas fluff about Booster and Michelle and Ted and Santa. Very, very silly, so hopefully sort of enjoyable. Cross-posted to boostle , obviously.

Should I post the Steve/Tony fairy tale fic I wrote during dead week, or is that just too embarrassing?

OH GOD MY EYES

Does anyone else besides me and hanjuuluver  play the "Go into department stores and see who can find the most butt-ugly outfits possible on the racks"?


hanjuuluver  I WIN THE GAME. I HAVE FOUND THE MOST HIDEOUS PANTS EVER PRODUCED IN THE HISTORY OF CLOTHING.

They are cotton blend slacks. They are bright purple. In fact, they are covered in a pattern of bright purple daisies with neon turquoise centers. Nothing could ever be more eye-searing hideous than these pants.

And no, I never wore them.
