1. I finished reading my gift fic from Yuletide. I love it; I can see it as Kincaid!Holmes and Watson's backstory, and the last line had me chortling.

2. My recipient appears to have liked their fic :-). Yay!

3. I have a slew of windows open with Yuletide fics and with other fics I've been reading. It is a bit of mental whiplash to go to one window, start reading a paragraph talking about "John", and suddenly realize that no, this is John Adams (1776) rather than John Watson (Gondal crossover incarnation).

4. The thought of either John Watson talking to Benjamin Franklin or John Adams talking to Sherlock Holmes is to be banished to the farthest reaches of my mind.

4. Apparently I'm getting one more year of laid-back Christmas due to younger child not yet getting the concept of presents as things he's supposed to be interested in unwrapping. Works for me!

5. And when I did finally get him to unwrap the Pocoyo DVD, he was utterly delighted. "Oh my gosh! Pocoyo!" (I have no idea where he picked up "oh my gosh", as neither of us parents say it, but hey, at least I don't have to worry about him saying it around older relatives.)

6. Stephen Fry saying, paraphrased, "It's much more fun to get clean if you've gotten a little dirty first", is a grand example of phrases that make the kids' video that much more entertaining for the parents.

7. I got Doctor Who season 6 as the present for me & spouse. Yeah, now that I've read all the spoilers, I'm finally getting to watch it. Story of my fannish life.
