Open gathering and chat post!

[capri0mni]

(Consider this journal entry properly bedecked).

This "Christmas season" is hard on everyone -- even those who enjoy & celebrate it can find it exhausting. And for those of us who don't -- or can't -- celebrate it (for whatever reason) it can be especially isolating -- particularly for those of us whose primary social connections happen through these here Interwebs.

So:

I'm posting this entry as an open discussion/chat thread, so that we have a place to chat and commune through the comment threads.

Come sip a warm (or cool, depending on your season) spiced beverage of your choosing, and grab a plate full of virtual goodies.

I'll be checking back in frequently over the next 72 hours or so.

Welcome! Welcome!

Edited to add:

I also can't forget (or, rather, I can, but should not) that today is also the first day of Hanukkah. So have a video that ysabetwordsmith posted a couple of years ago:

Watch on YouTube

Because I also know many are over saturated with Christmas songs, by now...

Howdy howdy! I hope you're having a very happy holiday season. I am spending my Christmas Eve writing.

Hooray for writing! I've been enjoying the fresh clips of "Raze" you've been posting... In the personal writing sphere, I've actually decided to revise and polish this year's NaNoWriMo project (which was also 2012's project -- the last NaNoWriMo I completed), probably during Camp Nano, this year, mostly.

I'm having "A season" -- my aide/housemate isn't much for observations, either public or private; I think she prefers to just ignore them. So I fly solo on all celebrations.

Arms tired yet? :,)
