It's Christmas Eve! Or, more accurately, Christmas Eve Day, since apparently Christmas Eve refers to the nighttime portion of the day only*. Anyway, usually by now we are all sick to death of Christmas music, so instead of any more traditional carols, on the last day of the calendar I offer you six songs about snow**.

Jeremy Messersmith -- Snow Day
The Leisure Society -- The Last Of the Melting Snow
Van Morrison -- Snow In San Anselmo
Pat Green f/Natalie Maines -- Snowing On Raton
Ella Fitzgerald -- Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
The Cure -- Snow In Summer

Enjoy! I wish you all a very happy Christmas, whether you plan on sitting around a tree with family opening presents, or if it's just a regular old Saturday in your world. I hope either way it will be filled with good cheer and good food. The princess dress is nearly done, and I need to go finish that, but y'all, it is something to see. I can't wait to show you!

One last thing before I go:

Since it is Christmas Eve (Day), that means in less than 24 hours, Yuletide stories will be revealed. I promised [personal profile] jengeorge I'd let her know when the Yuletide Madness portion of Yuletide opens for last-minute stocking stuffers. I didn't forget! It just hasn't happened yet. It's their first year completely on AO3, and the girl who usually does that portion just had a baby, so it's not happening the usual way. More's the pity!

However! If any of you are at home and wondering what you could do with your day, check out this post for an explanation of Yuletide Madness and a link to posted prompts, so you can write treats. And if you want to wait until Madness opens, it'll give you something to do during those glumpy, post-Christmas days before the new year.

Personally, I will be in a cabin in Pigeon Forge with my family during those glumpy post-Christmas days, enduring forced activities such as Dollywood! And The Titanic Experience! But I have an iTouch, so I can probably write on the sly***.

* My father is very particular about that. Seriously, he scolds me if he hears me using the term 'Christmas Eve' to refer to the entire day. I'm almost 40; I don't really enjoy being scolded by my father. So don't tell him I said it was Christmas Eve already.
** Really this is just an excuse to post some Van Morrison. Though he does mention Christmas. And pancake houses! Can't really go wrong there.
*** I'm not obsessed. It's a coping mechanism.
