This is emphatically not what I should have been writing. Blame this genius cracky prompt over at xmen_firstkink. I lifted the title from the prompt and... well, it does what it says on the tin.

Happy holidays!

Cracked me up the first time I read it over there; it continues to crack me up now. So funny.

Thanks! (It's weird replying anon, but I never dare post anything de-anon to begin with... it's all 'what if they laugh at me?' I'm such a five-year-old.)

Also, do you have a link to your unicorn crack? I think I may have seen the very beginning once upon a time, but I forget where.

I always start out thinking anon is the way to go but then I get so lazy about it. *laugh*

Unicorn crack! http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/6192.html?thread=7571504#t7571504

I started beaming stupidly at the initial description of Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, and I DIDN'T EVER STOP after that. Charles and Emma bonding over their husbands' stupidity and Christmas decor bloodthirst was epic, and the teensy movie homages were the perfect touch. Hello, new Delicious link! ♥

[so_shhy]

:D I am so glad you deemed it worthy of deliciousing (deliciousness? delicification?). Thank you!

THIS is pure Christmas spirit. *giggle* Also it's remind me of "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase which is really amazing.

So yeah, thumbs up! And I want to read more about this Emma+Charles friendship who bond over their crazy husbands. *g*

[so_shhy]

I think Emma and Charles will be BFFs... Erik and Shaw not so much, but they'll manage the Christmas spirit of tolerance :D

Thank you!

Thanks!

I will not make a fool of myself squeeing about Replay again. I will not. I will not. *does breathing exercises*
