Merry Christmas!!!

[marguerite_26]

♥ Hope everyone who celebrates had a happy Christmas! ♥

I'm back from visiting my parents (I was so busy right before Christmas that I forgot to tell anyone besides my co-mods that I would be off to the land of no wifi).

Anyway! I'm back! and ugh... shitty christmas was shitty. My parents had too many ppl down for Christmas so we ended up staying at my aunt's condo which is a floor below my parents. And somehow on Christmas eve we all got sick. Like super-duper fever+can't leave the couch+delirious+Why are we out of kleenex SICK.

It was awful. Missed Christmas dinner. Missed Christmas morning and playing with toys. We couldn't even spend time with my parents because of the risk of getting them sick. D:

And there is nothing worse then being at someone else's house and being sick. This morning we got up and heard a storm was coming, so our window of opportunity to drive home safely was very short so we packed up and got the fuck out of there. (after disinfecting my poor old aunt's condo.)

Merlin thoughts to come in a later post.

Damn! Your Christmas sucked even more than mine! So sorry about that *hugs*

Hope you are feeling a bit better today?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'm still sick, but my fever's gone down at least. My youngest is seriously ill though. And he can't seem to keep any tylenol down so we are watching his fever closely.

Keeping you all in my thoughts, esp your little one <3

Oh my God, that's fucking horrible!!! I hope you're all better now, though, and I bet well and truly in need of relaxing after all that :(

Thanks. I'm a bit better but mostly REALLY GRATEFUL to be home.

Honestly, such a shitty Christmas. D:

Hope yours was lovely! Go to the beach? Isn't that traditional Aussie christmas celebrations? ;)

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

As a matter of fact, I DID go to the beach! Well, two days before Xmas, anyway. It was awesome! There is a marina being built at our beach about 10 minutes away, so we wandered down for a peek. Xmas was quite traditionally European though, together with all the food I remember from my childhood. Had a really lovely Xmas Eve at my Dad's.

I can understand how you feel though- it's horrible being sick, but going through it away from home is a kind of torture :(

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Yay! The beach! So jealous.

So glad you had a lovely one. <3

I'm sorry, I hope you and your family are better. *hugs*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I hope we are better soon. For now, just happy to home and coughing on my own couch!

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

Aww, that sucks! I'm so sorry your holidays were so awful. :(

*hugs*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Thx sweetie. We're just glad to be home, tbh.

Hope yours was full of all the best stuff. :)

Oh dear, the flu does seem really bad this season. Hope everyone feels better soon and only a little bit of snow your way.

As for Merlin, I feel the strong urge for re-incarnation themed fic. I wish someone would host a fest like that...

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Hahaha... It's like you know me.

Now if only i could find someone to make me banners...

[kayoko.livejournal.com]

*fist pumps* Great minds think alike!

Now, if only I knew what the fest was called... ;)

EDIT: Any favourite pictures/scenes?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

La! Not sure what to name it or uf anyone else is hosting something.

I,ll do a feeler post tomorrow. But trust me, if i am going to do something you,ll be the first to know.

Aww bb! So sorry to hear you all were sick; that's the worst! I've definitely had Christmases like that. Glad you're a bit better. xox

[kerryblaze.livejournal.com]

Ugh. That sucks so bad! :((((( I hope you feel better very soon.

[romaine24.livejournal.com]

Pack Christmas away and look forward to the New Year! Sorry it sucked. Glad you're better, hope youngest improves soon.

I've been thinking of you while seeing all of these posts about the end of canon for Merlin. It seems like it was only a few months ago you joined but I guess it was a few years or more ago. Oh my time flies.

Take care, Maggie, and I hope the New Year is a healthy and happy one for you.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Hey rom!!!!! It been ages!!!how are you??

How was christmas? How,s life treating you?

Yes... Sigh... Merlin. It still feels like i,m a noob in that fandom, but sadly i,m more of a cranky old grandma telling tumblr folks to get off my lawn. ;)

It was a great run, not perfect, but i enjoyed the fandom... Am still enjoying and plan to for a while.

Have you been keeping up with hd_hols??? Did you write for it this year?

[romaine24.livejournal.com]

Christmas was good, though one downfall of divorce is not having your kids through the whole vacation. I had to drop them off on Christmas at noon. :( Will get them back for the New Year. :)

I did write for hols. Did you? I know you didn't originally sign up but I'm thinking you might have filled in.

speaking of Grandma, you're ahead of me. I haven't even ventured into Tumblr or Twitter lands.

Hugs!

[kitty_fic]

Oh no! I'm so sorry! That sounds truly awful!

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

Ack! How awful, sweetie. :(
I hope you all feel much better very soon. ♥

[eledhwenlin]

Oh, I'm sorry! I hope you'll feel better soon! <3

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweet, this sounds Awful with a capital A. I hate being sick and being not at home (TMI: that one Frankfurt Bookfair comes to mind, when I was vomiting in the bathroom of a friend of mine). I hope you all can enjoy the after-Christmas season and relax and get well again. And rewatch Merlin, of course. *HUGS*

[kathyh]

Oh, that sounds horrible. What a terrible shame for you all. I do hope you all feel better soon and can have a proper Christmas celebration when you're well again.

[bohemiabythesea.livejournal.com]

Oh, boo, Christmas sickness! Hope you're all feeling better?

[nenne.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that Christmas was lost in illnes. I hope you are all doing a bit better now.

Our Christmas guests did not care about others like you did and more than happily left behind the stommach bug they had had when they visited Christmas Eve. I'm not impressed. :-(

[shadowfireflame.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I'm so sorry you were sick for Christmas! It does really suck being sick and not being at home. Glad you made it back safely, though!

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

So sorry you were sick and away from home. I also caught a cold on Christmas but at least I was home. Hope you are feeling better!

[winnett.livejournal.com]

that totally bites. I had the 'sick at someone else's house' experience once, and you're absolutely right, it sucks. You just can't properly do ANYTHING.

Well, sorry for such a sucky time.

[pyrites-gold.livejournal.com]

Wow, intercontinental flu. Half the people I know over here are down with it too - I am in OCD overdrive and alcohol gelling hands and disinfecting surfaces constantly. Hope you all feel better soon!

[snegurochka_lee]

Oh, GAH! That sounds awful! :((((((

I'm glad you're home now and can rest up. ♥

[symetric.livejournal.com]

oh dear! sorry to hear about about sicky, sucky Christmas. D: D: D:

on the bright side, at least you didn't give it to any of the other family members. glad you're home though, and can recuperate in peace. <3
