music and story links
A confession: I'm much more excited about the Hunger Games movie trailer than the trailer for The Hobbit.
Hanukkah started last night. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate it.
A Hanukkah fic rec: An Act of Rebellion: Eight Nights of Hope. Harry Potter fandom. Some Ravenclaws deciding to bring light into Hogwarts at a very dark time. PG, less than 1000 words.
And Christmas fic--also Harry Potter fandom:
In a year we all will be together; the first Christmas after the war. PG, 1600 words.
Thy Leaves Are So Unchanging is a Weasley Christmas, post-DH. Rated G.
Why yes, I have been reading a few stories at the HP Holiday Gen fest. (Now that I have a complete draft of my Yuletide story I can go read more!)
Christmas music!
Carol of the Bells (for twelve cellos) is so amazing.
Noël Nouvelet--a beautiful a cappella version by Anuna.
Allison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma, the Wexford Carol. Gives me chills.
Not actually a Christmas song, but I'm linking because it's fun: Identical Snowflakes a fanvid with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Lastly, Connie Willis wrote a Christmas story with aliens! All Seated on the Ground. I haven't read it yet, but Willis's shorter stories have always been excellent. Mostly I'm linking so I'll remember to go read this myself.
