I confess I am losing a bit of steam, but have a double drabble of Bertie Wooster playing competitive charades for the Drones (and, as always, Jeeves to the rescue).

Amazing Peace: A Christmas Poem by Maya Angelou

Thunder rumbles in the mountain passes
And lightning rattles the eaves of our houses.
Flood waters await us in our avenues.

Snow falls upon snow, falls upon snow to avalanche
Over unprotected villages.
The sky slips low and grey and threatening.

I was going to save this theme for the solstice but I realized today is the feast day of my patron saint (or name saint, the name I picked for Catholic confirmation because there is no Saint Okapi), Saint Lucy, patron saint of light so have an acrostic tanka.

light by okapi

let the bookends of
ineffable night draw close,
gather daylight’s tomes,
held briefly, then extinguished
tightening winter’s embrace

I did a triple ACD drabble with Christmas greenery at watsons_woes.

I am getting some ideas for these from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Christmas is Coming!. They have paired this of Shakespeare with a detail of Louis John Rhead's Scribner art on the opposite page and it's a striking combination

Blow, blow, thou winter wind by William Shakespeare [from As You Like It]

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.



And "The Holly & the Ivy" has to be one of my favourite songs. So pretty and haunting.



And lastly, SUGA's family's dog is named Holly (spelled Holy but pronounced Holly so that's how I write it) and I have a ficlet collection (now on it's 3rd year) of all the Xmas fun Holly gets up to.

I just wrote a slightly naughty bts drabble for adventdrabbles based on today's prompt of sexy Santa lingerie, but I've written a lot of Xmas porn.

Most of it is BBC Sherlock. Many different 'verses. Holmescest+John. Regular Omegaverse. Omegaverse Holmescest. Femlock. Menstrual-blood drinking vampire Femlock. ACD, too, first times. but two of the most alternate of alternate verses is my Santa's workshop 'verse (think fairy tale porn) and my bible threesome porn with Sherlock, John, and Lestrade as the three wise men getting down at an oasis. [I know, but yes! And this doesn't even consider all the Xmas porn in the Cheers anthology which is more than I care to count]
