Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! I debated what graphic to use here, seeing as I'm an artist and attracted to colour and imagery. Pink is my favourite colour, and it's this really soft, buttery pink, too, of the sort you'd see in cherry and peach blossoms, or right here in this Merry Christmas mug! When I wish you a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holiday, it looks and feels something like this in my head.
Mostly.
And then... there's the other side of me. That neurodivergent part. It's the part that knows about fist-fights, windage, and ghost-hunting, and that part of my brain thought the pink picture wasn't the kind of Holiday greeting that anyone who would follow me would appreciate. So, there's this:
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS, friends! Please enjoy this bloody titanic snowman looming over your house in the middle of the night. I wish you true happiness and a far, far better year to come! Speaking of which, I had a rather interesting conversation with my sister, who was the first consumer and fan of my Thranduil-based fan-fictions, many years back. She asked me if, as a favour to her, I could please write about Ruel in the coming year.
And, actually, yeah. I believe I can. Thank you, again. I love hearing from you! Please reach out any time!
Hi Jinxyblue and Monika! Please be sure to check your inboxes at your Second Reader inboxes! Lori and Erin too, if you're around!
The thing is, I started my first Thranduil fanfic around this time of the year, and generally return to that world on the holidays, so my sister had something to read! We'll see what happens this year coming! YOU'RE WELCOME re. the books, of course!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you 💖
Tracy, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!!! Thank you for sharing all of your fantastic stories with all of us, especially stories about Thranduil and Ruel!!!!!
