A brief Christmas Day check in

Christmas Day is going swimmingly so far. I managed to catch up with most of my maternal family via FaceTime first thing in the morning — my mum passed the phone around the table, where they had gathered at one of my aunt's places for canapes and champagne — and followed that with yoga and a long walk with Matthias along the river.

I'm going to make myself scarce for the rest of the day, but I wanted to duck in briefly and burble a bit about my Yuletide gift, which is lovely.

My author wrote me a great Lions of Al-Rassan fic, featuring my favourite OT4 being competent at their respective talents and delighting in each other's competence, which is the main thing I love about these characters, so I'm very happy.

I'm going to leave the rest of the collection until tomorrow, and work my way through it in the days leading up to reveals, but I hope that everyone who participated has received great gifts, and that their own assignments, treats, and/or pinch hits will be well received. As always, I don't do a recs post until after creators have been revealed, so expect to see that at some point on 1st January.

I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas are having a good time, and those of you who don't are having a relaxing and fun Saturday.
