Oh my God. OMG. I think the warranty on my motherboard has been cancelled because I am crying over the keyboard. As soon as Leonard assumed the bastard attitude, I was shaking. The Airing of Grievances, and my MacBook filled with tears.

And then Leonard becomes a fucking human, and I'm crying with him.

Well done, you. This is a fine, fine story.

Thanks so much for allowing yourself to be beaten by the finest to participate.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, considering that I wrote it in, like, one day.

I love this, could I put it on my recs list?

This was perfect! I'm now a fan of festivus!

Have a great Xmas.

Rec away!

I didn't know much about Festivus before taking on the prompt, but a few friends celebrate it, and some of it is just particular to them.

Thanks for reading.

Oh Bone's speech made me laugh so hard, but it segued into a massive "awww". This story is absolutely brilliant -- a good balance of humor and seriousness.

I had bits and pieces of the speech squirreled away, so that part cobbled together quickest.

Glad you enjoyed.

What a wonderful loving story. Brilliant in all ways. This reminded me of the general's speech to his troops at the beginning of 'White Christmas.'

Happy Festivus!

Lol. Never consciously thought of the general- but you are so right!

I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Wow. Not only is this still funny the second time, it's actually funnier. Some of the bits you've added since the draft I saw are just spectacular. You've changed small details and added small details here and there throughout, and somehow succeeded in clarifying the whole story beautifully. Also, I'm impressed that you got this posted so quickly when you must have had three sets of potentially conflicting advice from your beta team to wade through. Hey, you have a beta team! Not as useful or adorable as a team of huskies, perhaps, but a little more literate. :-)
Great work!

You are an amazing beta!

I revise quickly, but on something as rushed as this was I need direction from awesome people like you.

Amazing that I posted so quickly due to conflicting betas? Not so much. Amazing because friends took us out at seven last night, fed me gourmet food and got me completely drunk on red wine and port, then dropped us at home so my husband and I could have lots of wild monkey sex.

Then I finished revising.

I'm so happy you liked the changes, despite my irresponsible holiday debauchery.

And I much prefer a group of intelligent women to a team of huskies.
