The Twelve Pains of Christmas?

[saruwatari-m-fu.livejournal.com]

...What is a 'hootchy-mama... thing'? (And do I want to know?)

Re: The Twelve Pains of Christmas?

Um... I don't think I can explain that publicly without getting someone mad at me. >_> Let's just say it was more appropriate to a honeymoon than to a divorce. ^___^

And, really, you probably don't want to know. ^___^

Hey... I believe that I was poking for Christmas fic! Or even anti-Christmas fic. Or... fic. >_> *pokes* Don't think this gets you off the hook. Even Banshee's and Wyverns have to at least acknowledge the existance of the darn holiday! ^o^ And I wanna know what the Hootchy-mama thing was too... >_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Dammit. >.< Well, hey; I tried. ^__^

Not *that* holiday, they don't! Now, year-end or solstice; yeah. ^___^

I'm not explaining the hootchy-mama thing in public. O_O It's embarrassing.

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Well, they might not celebrate it, but it's still going to be going on all around them. *grin* Maybe some Banshee observations on the weird mix of religions all crammed into one commercial... uh... holiday? ^^;

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Every culture celebrates the end of the old year and the beginning of the new, so I imagine they'll come up with something. ^___^ No telling what the Ichi-Ban might have in mind.

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I can just see them sitting around some table in a bar or diner somewhere, and the clueless lot of them trying to explain the bizarre mix of traditions....
'But wait; where the hell does the tree thing come in? Isn't that Pagan? But I thought this was a Christian holiday?'
*snort*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Lots of drink and lots of laughter; that works. ^____^

The purple dragons make great decorations. :) Best wishes and good luck on the job hunt. In the mean time I love your writing so it is great to see fic updates.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Updates have been kind of sporadic, but I'm hoping to get the hamsters back in harness once they wake up from their turkey coma.

^___^

I'm with Sunny. This doesn't count as Christmassy. Fic does. *hides*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I suck at xmas fic! >_> I suppose I could feed the hamsters some mistletoe and see what happens... *grumbles*
