Robins, also Christmas

farlaToday I saw the first robins of spring. We are very fucked. (The robins, for their part, were merely disgruntled.)
It's actually very nice right now - it finally snowed (normally, it snows by my birthday...) but now it's warming up again. All things considered that'd probably for the best. I'm hoping for a mild winter, as it seems we're going to get days of seventy-degree weather either way, and as damaging as warming is, it's nothing compared to going from warm to zero and back again every week. I'd rather we had a reliable snow cover, but there's no chance of that.
Also seasonal greetings as appropriate. I'm kind of getting into the whole War on Christmas idea - it really puts an extra bit of glee into every "Happy Holidays" I say.
I think I'm just about done with NaRe. I'm going to try to post a story on Christmas - probably an Unoriginality chapter - and I'm also turning over the concept of those awful legendaries-have-a-party fics to see if there's any way to make them work. If so, they'll celebrate New Years, because not even spite could make me write a Christmas fic after reading so many of the damn things.
