AKA, brief X-mas entry.

I spent the holiday with my folks, as per usual, where we hosted Christmas Dinner for the relatives on my dad's side of the family. It was a great time with some great food, and my aunt made for me (and my brother and sister) a ridiculously warm winter blanket with kanji all over it. My parents got me some CDs, some froggy pajamas (I have a growing collection!), and some cooking stuff (yummy), my brother got me Ouendan (CAN'T STOP CHEERING), and my sister got me a little Daruma doll, which I've secretly wanted for a long time now. I'll have to think of something good to color his eye for (to tie into my New Years Resolutions, whatever...those turn out to be XD).

And then I got Final Fantasy III for myself, JUST BECAUSE THE RED MAGES ARE CUTE. The rest of my Xmas money is getting stored away for a PSP the moment FFT:SS is given an American release date.

In other news, Yuletide went down pretty smoothly this year. Better than usual, even...? Whoever got me must have scratched, because apparently I got not only one pitch-hit story, but...four!! I'm not exactly sure how that happened, but I'm not complaining. I got two PW stories with itty bitty Miles, one that was NokoMitsu, and a fabulous Delita/Ramza FFT fic. (Not that the others weren't fabulous, I'm just way into FFT at the moment, as you can tell by my new layout). I wouldn't normally consider myself a Delita/Ramza shipper, but it was very well done and I loves it. In case you're reading, mystery authors (*nudge wink*) thank you all so much.

I'm not sure the story I wrote got the best reception, but...oh well. It was the only way I could think to include all the characters that were requested. But I can't say anything more until authors are revealed on New Years.

Speaking of New Years...I have no idea what I'll be doing. O_o Probably baking a pie of some sort with my new cook book. It's my goal to recreate the Applebees Apple Chimmy-Cheesecake.

Happy Holidays everyone :D
