1. If you haven't put your address down for a holiday card, DO IT. I desire to mail you papers with my handwriting on them. (I still haven't figured out where I want to get cards from. It's an issue.)

2. I haven't seen enough wishlist memes from y'all. It's so fun! Here is mine, for your reference.

3. I have to bake Dalek-shaped cookies tonight and I'm pretty excited about it. Even though I've never tried this recipe and it might suck. I hope it doesn't suck.

4. I will have more puppet goodness for you soon. So soon. Possibly even tonight.

5. My personal life is a thrill-a-minute rollercoaster ride of weirdness lately. Also, I work 7 days a week right now. Also, I am sick with the death plague I contracted from cleaning up after 1,000 four- and five-year-olds per day. This is why I am hardly around, but I love you all and miss you terribly.

6. MY MOM IS COMING TO VISIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!! Actually, after the holidays, but I am seriously excited about this. I miss her and I thought I wasn't going to get a chance to see her until next spring at the earliest.

7. I have a million end-of-year posts to make and no time to make them in. Life is so hard.

8. That's all.

9. ETA: HAHA, OOPS. I forgot to post the reason I made this post! For just about 1 week, Jacob Clifton's awesome essay on Serenity is available to read for free. RIGHT HERE. It'll probably be the best thing you read all week.

I am thankful for all of you. And also for not having to cook at all today.

Also! I have some Google Wave invites, so hit me up if you want one. And then we can wave at each other. Is that how we're saying it?

This wishlist meme going around is super awesome. I love the idea of it!

Every year, I get amazing holiday cards from lovely people on my flist, and then I never send any back in return. And that is lame of me. So! I'm doing it this year, for real.

Leave your address in the comments (which are screened), and I will send you a holiday card. Also, let me know if you have any preferences in terms of Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule/non-religious winter-ness, and I will do my best to not totally offend you.

(Fuck it, I am using my awesome Christmas icon early for this post. YOU CAN'T STOP ME.)
