Ice cream is next in line after whipped cream. I saw the log cakes in the store last night when I bought my turkey (yes, I waited until the 23rd ... but I got a nice small one - 4.3kg) and I thought of YOU!

Oh, and I was quite distraught. No whipped cream! They had whipped topping and Cool Whip (disgusting stuff), but no whipped cream. They had chocolate whipped cream, but since I'm not a choco-holic, that didn't appeal to me at all. *pouts* I may just have to get my fill AFTER Christmas! We'll have such a big dinner anyway, that cookies will be sufficient for dessert. We can get all the really good stuff later.

Thanks for the hugs. *hugs you back* I'm doing alright. I spent a large part of today frantically cleaning, and now I have a gazillion presents to wrap. Oh, and I also did two days' worth of the Prophet, so I had some lovely (and I mean totally amazing) H/D love to read as well. So it's 32 minutes until Christmas here, and I've managed to keep busy. *\o/*

My niece will probably call sometime in the next couple of hours (she's two hours behind), so we will probably end up chatting for a while. That's where I was going to be tonight, so it's the next best thing, I suppose. And we see each other in a week. Yay!

Awwww... you thought of me? *smiles happily* Yay, I'm being associated with turkeys and log cakes now, hahah. :D

Don't feel distraught, they probably ran out of whipped cream after using it all on the log cakes. *pats you* You're certainly a bit late with the wrapping of presents though, which is odd because you seem like such an organised type normally. *looks suspicious*

Oh yes, you're leaving us in a week! *wails and clings to you* :( Heheh, srsly, you have fun with your sister and niece (and with melmoe1"), and yay for Prophet recs from you (did I ever congratulate you on finding employment there, btw? :D). I hope your Christmas is still going well (ours is over now :/), and lots of hugs and kisses from me across the oceans. ♥

Hee! Not turkeys, but definitely log cake. *g*

But ... I didn't buy a log cake. So I have no whipped cream today. *sniffles* Then again, I'm so full right now without dessert that I'm okay for today. Maybe tomorrow.

Wrapping presents I usually do on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, to get me in the spirit, so it's intentional. Really. I swear. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Yes, you did congratulate me. Thanks. It's fun, but I can see why they needed the extra help at this time of year. Yeesh! The gift!fics over at hd_holidays are almost all really long now, which means it takes a long time to read each of them. Presuming some of the editors have lives, it would be impossible to read them all every day!

*smooches and squishes from Canada*

[lackofmendacity]

Hahah, you Canadians really like your turkey - didn't you just have a Turkey Day celebration about two months ago? *g*

Awwww, whipped cream is good on a full stomach, so you were probably better off. *nods* Heheh, do you actually expect me to believe you wrap presents at the latest possible time to "get into the spirit"? *giggles* I'm not -that- gullible. :P

Well, I know you were all tired from the turkey and the editor reading, so I hope you had a nice rest. *hugs you* And thank you for taking the time to find fics so we can read them. I notice you rec'd two editor's choice. :)

[sesheta_66]

Yup, yup, although they're the only two days of the year that I ever have turkey. Except I didn't bother with turkey on Thanksgiving, since I didn't have the boys with me, so it was just the one time.

*grins* Seriously, I do. Since I don't have the boys with me, it's rather a blah time for me, so if I leave the wrapping until then, it helps.

Had a good night's sleep, thanks. And yeah ... I enjoyed all the reading I did, but those two just stood out, despite them being vastly different. One was a hurt/comfort fic that was heart-wrenching and heart-warming. The second was hilarious, with a wonderful plot. I couldn't NOT highlight them both.

[lackofmendacity]

Well, I know you were a bit disgruntled about your original plans being ruined, so I'm really pleased that you were so resilient, and ended up enjoying Christmas anyway. :)

After all, you had lovely fic reading, then Christmas with your boys, and you still get to see your sister... so yay! :D *cuddles you*

[sesheta_66]

Oh, Christmas is always to be enjoyed. *nods* It's the lead-up that is a bit blah, without the monsters boys here. And now I get to see my big sister, my niece AND melmoe1, and I get to go to Seattle for the first time.

It's all good!

*snuggles*
