25 Days of Multiverse #25 -- Merry Christmas! :D

It's been a good one for me so far, all things considered. Dad's toothache has subsided some, and my cold is on the way out, so let joy be unconfined! Let me give you the current present list:
-->Sudoku Book (this was my Christmas Eve gift)
-->MLP Mystery Mini figure, which, when unboxed, proved to be a glow-in-the-dark DJ Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch
-->Set of 3 Lip Smackers that look like they can go on a keychain
-->Black Aperture Science rubber bracelet
-->A cupcake calendar set (includes regular-size and mini 16-month calendars, an address book, and a 2-year planner)
-->A set of new sheets (needed these)
-->2 things of Icebreakers gum
-->A thing of Icebreakers mints
-->A brush and comb set (I think this was to get me out of the bathroom faster when I shower, but I actually really needed a new brush)
-->$25 Barnes & Noble gift card
-->Thud! (the next book in the Discworld)
-->Alice In Tumblrland (a comedy book of mini-stories adapting fairy tales for modern times)
-->Set of 24 Gel Pens
-->Ferrero Rocher candy
-->New set of PJs
-->2 pairs of new bed socks
-->The "Atop The Fourth Wall" DVD (yay! :D)
-->2 sets of the BTTF Lego DeLorean (reason? both my parents and my aunt and uncle next door got me the set and Mom simply hadn't remembered she'd grabbed it. I'm still debating whether to keep the spare in-box or make two DeLoreans)
-->A USB X-Box 360 controller (remember how I kept saying that I wanted to try A:MR with a controller? I'll be doing that in a little bit)
-->Back In Time, the new BTTF Chronology (to go with the lexicon)
-->A new laptop battery, which is currently plugged in and at 36% remaining (I've been meaning to get one for AGES)

So yeah, a good haul -- AND this is without my other aunt's present, or the "missing present" -- my parents ordered some books from England, but they didn't get here in time. I'm pretty sure those are The Harper Hall trilogy (I'm a little surprised they couldn't find it among our piles of books O.o), so depending on when they finally show up I'll probably count them as a birthday present.

Now, let's have the final drabble of this Christmas season:
( Twenty-Fifth Day )

All right -- I'll have gift fic up in another post in just a moment. Right now I must answer a rather urgent call.

Gift Fic!

All right, I'm back, and I bear presents! For my good friends:

Ael:
( Sibs Will Be Sibs )

Moose:
( Cadence Is Probably Getting One Too )

Gigs:
( Couldn’t Just Order Up Some Nectar? )

Merry Christmas guys, hope you enjoy! Now I have to go do my tumblr friends. . .and after that, I think I'll try out a little Alice with my new controller. . .

Final Christmas Notes

--> I did indeed give Forgotten a short fic in the Inkwell for Christmas: Him and Secundus Alice talking about how his holiday season's been a little sad. For some reason the idea of her giving him a quick kiss on the cheek wouldn't leave me alone, so. . .enjoy some fluff?

-->Got another, unexpected present -- Mom's employers bought their mom a pink down vest (like Marty wears in BTTF), but it didn't fit her. So they gave it to Mom and said if it fit me, I could have it. It fits, so -- yeah, got a pink Marty vest! XD Yaaay~

-->Tried out Alice with the X-Box 360 controller. It actually works pretty well! Going down the slide was suddenly a LOT EASIER. I'm still getting used to how it all works, though. The big thing will be figuring out how to coordinate the camera joystick with the movement joystick. *nods* But I'll keep at it. :)

-->Going to celebrate now with some gingerbread and Linkara's last Christmas episode. Have a good night, everyone!
