I can't really believe that this is the last Drabble Day of our 9th season. Where did the time go? It's the last day of Hanukkah after just having the last *night* of Hanukkah, it's the fourth day of Pancha Ganapati, it's Christmas Eve... I'm utterly unready for everything that I still need to do for my family, but on the plus side, I'm ready to ( Read more... )

Those are the "traditional" greetings for these non-traditional holidays being celebrated by some on the 23rd of December. Our holidays today share the distinction of having been invented within the last 30 years and adopted as sort of anti-Christmas holidays ( Read more... )

Lots of art again tonight for the ornaments/garland prompt, thanks everybody! I'm putting one above the cut for fun which leaves a dozen below, including one illustration. Three ficlets, two gen, one slash. The art isn't slashy and because there is so much, it continues below the slash ficlet ( Read more... )

So we're in the midst of the 8 nights of Hanukkah and also the 9 nights of Posadas Navideñas, or Las Posadas. (Except when it's Posades... or Pasadas -- I really wish I'd had time to research this myself, I'm sad that I didn't have a chance, and don't know when the different spellings are used, and whether the fact that sometimes it's Navideñas ( Read more... )

...but not a box in sight. It's the strangest thing, I never would have anticipated that we would have 10 pieces of art and 4 drabbles and not a single person put a ribbon or bow on a box even one time. (Two come close, but not quite. :-)) No, just about all the ribbons & bows today are either applied to people or used in decorating ( Read more... )

Art! So much art about bells! Much of it snarky! 10 pieces of art, one accompanying one of the four drabbles. Three drabbles are gen and one slash, but I put one of the gen ones at the end because of its "irreverent humor," followed by one of the pieces of art that's got "language," as they say. :-) So if you are feeling easily offended right ( Read more... )

I kept thinking about a drabble where they are driving somewhere and there is ice and Blair keeps unconsciously humming the "Under Pressure" sample from the song "Ice Ice Baby," possibly doing the "Ice Ice Baby" part on occasion too, and maybe Jim totally freaks out Blair by suddenly breaking into the actual rap part... And now just that much can ( Read more... )

Today's prompt was the result of a run-off vote, where I ended up saying the following: punchbowl/mulled wine -- but bonus points if you can work in gingerbread too ( Read more... )

...by having the star art I left out above the cut, and our five great wrapping paper manips below the cut. :-) There are a few drabbles -- the continuation of "A Sentinel's Christmas Wish," a gen ficlet, and a slash ficlet -- but wrapping paper is more visually appealing I guess. Makes sense to me! (I even decided to change one of the wrapping ( Read more... )
