Three Months Exactly Until Christmas

[sirhugs]

what are you wishing for?

 

[Candy_Kane54]

I'm wishing my 2025 Winter Holiday Contest entry is worth reading ...

 

[NCneedslove_18]

Snow!

 

[sirhugs]

Snow!

making snow angels?
then going in, stripping off the wet clothing, and sharing hot chocolate nude in front of the fireplace?

 

[MrPixel]

Snow!

Gawd no. Snow is tranquil and soothing... for the first two hours. After that it's just hard work, and hoping you don't have to go anywhere 'cause of the car-killing road salt.

If there's any saving grace of climate change, it's that the typical "snow line" for where we live has moved 50 miles north of us in the 35 years we've lived in the region.

A few years ago I took my family on a hiking trip and rented a treehouse cabin. I'd like to do something like that again, if I'm healthy enough. Fingers crossed.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

Snow!

Yeah, you can have all the snow you want. I'll watch from here.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

A revert to Saturnalia.

It's only work if you worry about the world outside. If you just stay cozy inside and watch the pretty world outside. It's wonderful. As long as you are not getting many feet and have to worry about your roof collapsing from the weight or something. Now, when I had to drive an hour on the interstate with six inches of snow of the road to teach at the other campus, that sucked.

But we live in fantasies of our own making. We can always arrange the perfect amount of snow at the perfect time.

And I have a plot bunny hopping into my head for a winter holiday story.

Lit related? I'll wish for @Devinter to come back, or at least I'll wish for him to be in the right headspace to come back if he wants to.

I might even promise to finish my Demon Hunters story if he does.

 

[NuclearFairy]

I want a visit from the bad dragon fairy.

 

[crookedletter]

I'm wishing for two and a half more months before I have to start hearing Christmas music.

(sorry. I actually love Christmas. I'm just not ready.)

 

[Levorotatory]

No snow until Christmas (except in the mountains).

Actually, nevermind. That would just be a setup for disappointment. I'll settle for no snow before Halloween.

Well, since you’re asking…

- A list of every single time a girl has wanted me to make a pass at her but I've been too oblivious or shy to realize it.
- A worldwide ban on leaf blowers.
- My wife to understand that rats and mice are perfectly normal animals, just like squirrels and dogs and tortoises.
- To never, ever have to hear an American offer their opinions about guns, abortion, free speech or their constitution again (I love you guys, honestly, but…)
- For every restaurant in the world to give up the pretense that the choice is between ‘still and sparkling’ - we want tap water, plain and simple, already chilled if possible, and if we want bubbles we’ll tell you.
- and, finally, to have one day - just one! - when I can masturbate in public without people getting all uppity…
