"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Merry Christmas!

Am more thoroughly stuffed than the turkey at present.

thinks. blinks.

NO! Not like that! Good grief, you people manage to turn every damn thing into porn! (And, frankly, living in a Muslim country, as I do, right about now I'm thinking that Santa, what with it being guaranteed that he'll come once a year, has an enviable sex life.) er. Anyway, yes - am full of turkey and yummy festive fare, and now rolling off to open presents. Hope all Buffistas everywhere enjoy a better-than-expected festive season. Love y'all.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Merry Christmas, Fay! We got snow in Scotland, which is remarkably still on the ground, giving that it's a gorgeous sunny day. I'm snacking on a chocolate orange and trying to find the least expensive flight down to London. Frustratingly, the cheapest thus far is ₤32 on easyjet. Sigh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Our local temple is showing Fiddler on the Roof and inviting people to show up in costume and sing along.

At the mall yesterday, one of the stores -- Neiman Marcus, I think -- had some guys playing Christmas carols. At one point, they went into "If I was a Rich Man." I nearly fell over laughing.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Merry Christmas! I've already opened all my presents, and am basking amid the detritus. My cat is drowning in treats, and I in enough candy to make my dentist weep.

(Is it entirely ungrateful to start being WTF? about my family's presents? Does good taste dictate that I wait until after noon for that or something?)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Merry Christmas, those who keep it, bright and happy day to everybody! We're off shortly to pick up StY and head down to the MIL's, where the rest of us are waiting for giftwrap carnage and turkey destruction. Safe travels, everyone who's on the move today. Full tummies and good company to us all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, and happy Saturday to those who don't!

My family has not yet opened presents. People are getting dressed first.

I always knew they were weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a bag under the tree that says "Here's the pony!"

So I guess I'm set.

Merry Christmas to the celebrators and a Happy Damn-Everything's-Closed to everyone else.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

There's a pony in bag? COOL!

We have stuff! It's so fun.

Happy day to all.

(I just spoke to my parents. apparently my bro and SIL are buying a house with 17 acres of land! and my parents got 4 feet of snow this week.)
