A Very Threesome Christmas: Part 1

Continuity note: This story takes place after “Beginnings: The Threesome Prequel,” and off to the side of “I Have a Little Dreidel.”

A/N: This is the Christmas tree stand that House and Wilson are using. The technology has improved so much in the last ten or fifteen years that I thought some people might not be familiar with this type. (They are, ( Read more... )

Adorable. The only time I've gotten to shop for Christmas decorating things was when a friend had a trim-the-tree party. I spent over 2 hours in the Christmas shop to buy one ornament. If you've never done it before, it's a lot of fun. I can understand why Wilson got into it.

It's amazing what they come up with for Christmas ornaments, isn't it? I can imagine Wilson would be sort of dazzled--he's helped with the hospital's Christmas celebrations before, probably, and maybe he's helped friends celebrate too, but this time it's his own! tree! Plus it's for! Chase!

hi,
just dropping by quickly to let you know that I recorded and posted "A Taste of Summer". You can find it here:

"annual gentile orgy of consumerism" is my new favorite phrase.

Seeing as that you're a professor of some sorts, would you mind informing this poor college freshman just how much you'd expect from your students on a paper due on the last day of the semester? Mine is due at midnight tonight and I'm ready to go into a finals-induced coma, but I've got this fucking ten page thing due. How good does it actually have to be?

Oh, Ssorry, I didn't see the second part of this comment until just now--a little late, I guess. Generally, if a professor has a paper due on the last day of the semester, they wanted to give you the maximum amount of time to get it done--they expect you to have started sooner. Grading standards aren't usually any easier than during the rest of the semester--maybe harder. I look on it as a last chance to see how well my students have learned what we spent the semester doing; with mid-semester work, I'll make allowances for things we haven't really worked on yet. Not a very comforting answer, I'm afraid.

This is sweet and hysterically funny all at once. :-D Lovely.
Favorite bits: the traditional untangling of the lights (and christmas lights ARE the most failure-prone electrical devices in the known universe), Wilson going crazy (25 yards of white pine roping? jeez), and the fruitcake. <3

My parents had a tree-stand like that when I was very young - this didn't help to raise a real nice Christmas-spirit in Hibernia's Home, I can assure you. They got rid of it real soon. Great story, as always, can't wait for part II!

Tree...stand? You mean some people don't just clean up a large plant pot, shove the tree in and pack dirt from the garden around it?

hm, interesting idea! Maybe I'll try that sometime, if I ever have a natural tree at my own house. I have a little fake tabletop one, because I usually spend Christmas week at my dad's, and I don't want to come home to a dead tree in the living room that I then have to throw out.
