I squeaked when I saw that you'd written me fic! And it was ADORABLE fic. Yayes!!
Nicholas suspected Father Christmas was a pedophile, but he has yet to prove it. If anyone could, it's Nicholas.
All the rants about bureaucracy were amazing. Have you ever watched 'Yes Minister'? The curling little trails of reasoning that lead to a big knot of misguided intentions, cranky people, and crankiness are funny because omgtrue.
“As a white Christian heterosexual male, I’m feeling very discriminated against. Can I file a compliant?” “If you have the nerve to, go right ahead. Let me know how it turns out.” I laughed out loud with this. I can completely picture Andy being that cheeky, and Nicholas being so very dry in response. And Turner and Baby Jesus is an adorable image right there.
Or she could pretend to like the gift and return it for a refund. The gift you spent hours looking for, never to be seen again. Even though you asked her what she wanted for Christmas, and then offered to get her a gift card so she could pick it out herself.

did you really squeak or are you yanking my chain? :) anyhoo, i'm glad you liked it. merry christ--er--seasons greetings!
(am now wondering who my secret santa is???? hmm.)
i've never seen "yes, minister", but i have heard of it. my british tv is very limited, as i only get bbc america and it's endless reruns of "how clean is your house".
I think most of 'Yes, Minister' and 'Yes, Prime Minister' is actually on youtube. I recommend watching a full episode rather than a clip, as a lot of the humour comes from the context.
and don't feel bad about the fic exchange, i just wrote mine incrediably fast and way ahead of scheduale. i'm surprised it turned out so well. usually i creatively languish for weeks.
nicholas is a grinch. kinda. i'd imagine he spends his holiday season working in a soup kitchen, serving turkey dinners to homeless people with the same dour expression he ALWAYS has on his face.
Eeehee, this was lovely. xD And, OMG, the Diversity nonsense is like a disease. Like, seriously. Dx KILL IT WITH FIRE. IT'S NOT A FUCKING HOLIDAY TREE.
Ugh, it's because us 'white people' are so afraid of offending anyone by saying anything even remotely racist or omitting anything that will promote culture equality that we end up taking ourselves out at the knees, while really, the 'non-whites' are way, WAY more racist than we could ever be. Dx
