Crazy busy at work this week, trying to get everything finished - was so stressed out. But I'm now officially done and on holidays 'til January 20! Woot woot!

( Day Eighteen )

Thanks to continuing LJ connection issues, I'm being forced to post these calendar entries whenever I can, rather than on time. Which is killing my OCD-tendencies like you wouldn't believe. Grrr...

I'm hella lazy with Christmas cards this year, but if anyone's address has changed, I'll screen these comments so you can let me know here. Thanks!

Five days in, and today's pic reminds me that I'm still bummed I missed out on a chocolate Advent Calendar this year. Kept seeing them in the grocery store after Halloween, kept thinking 'nah, it's too soon to buy an Advent calendar', 'nah, it's still too soon', 'still too soon', finally went to go get one aaaaand - they're all gone. So no chocolate for me this December. Well, not from an Advent calendar anyway.

Got most of the Christmas garlands hung on Monday and the Christmas tree put up today. Just need to finish my table displays and put up the outside lights and decorations. Busy, busy busy. Also have more decorations to make for my sister's baby shower on Sunday (my youngest sister, Amelia, is now married and having a baby in February - still can't believe it!). The shower is Wizard of Oz themed and we may be going slightly overboard on the crafts, lol.

Hi guys! I've come out of posting hibernation for my annual LJ tradition of the Advent Calendar. I've been inspired to do things a little differently this year - instead of focusing on the smut and the slash, my 2014 calendar will be a celebration of fandom.

I found an amazing artist on Tumblr, alicia-mb, who has created a fantastic Christmas card series based on various fandoms, and as soon as I saw them I knew I had to showcase them in this year's advent calendar. Hope you all enjoy it and don't miss the smut too much, LOL.
