Post-Christmas update

I had a lovely Christmas, and I hope everyone on my Friends list enjoyed the holidays, too. I got some wonderful presents (including some yummy homemade cookies), but most importantly, got to spend the day with my family, including my sister who flew in for the holidays. (Although that does put a bit of a crimp in my fanfic-writing, since I'm sort of in the closet about that with my family. "Hey, Geri-chan, what are you doing on the computer?" "Oh, don't mind me; I'm just writing some gay porn." ^_^)

One of my favorite Christmas presents wasn't even really mine--someone gave my brother a little iPod dock/speaker system, but he doesn't have an iPod, so he gave it to me--yay! I was blasting my Wizard Rock Jingle Spells Christmas tunes all over the house yesterday. ^_^ My favorite song has to be from the first Jingle Spells album, "Christmas with My Mom and Dad" by Draco and the Malfoys. The singer does a wonderfully snotty Draco, with hilariously evil lyrics, singing to Harry about how he's celebrating Christmas with his parents "while yours are decomposing in the grave" and "Harry, Harry, Harry, what'd your parents get you for Christmas?"

Harudaki fans, check out the mini-Christmas fest on the Youka Nitta IJ Asylum. There are a couple of lovely entries so far, along with my own Kentucky Fried Christmas, which plays off the Japanese tradition of eating fried chicken and cake on Christmas Eve.
