You really should read more.

A Nervous Breakdown Christmas
A quick search on The Nervous Breakdown gives you a handful of authors willing to share their Christmases with you.

Below lay an excerpt from Will Entrekin‘s “The Evolution of the Christmas Jollies”

Tim’s voice remains clear: “You still get the Christmas Jollies?” No eleven year old should be able to manage such derision, but as Timmy’s height was ahead of his years, so was his condescension. I was only eleven or so myself, and I didn’t exactly know what the Christmas Jollies were, but somehow I sensed from the tone of Timmy’s voice that having them was akin to having cooties. Maybe worse.

Now you’d better finish that story. You know what they say will happen if you don’t finish.

Paul Cornell’s The 12 Blogs of Christmas
Paul Cornell, writer of one of our favorite Doctor Who two-parters “Human Nature/Family of Blood” has been in the holiday spirit over on his blog.

…welcome to the first of my 12 Blogs of Christmas, where, as in the last few years, I’ll be presenting hopefully exciting new stuff over the next twelve days, covering, in a festive manner, the three worlds I move in: science fiction; comics and Doctor Who.

He started this on December 12, so if you’re behind, like us, you got a lot of reading to do. Like this short story Doctor Who, professionally written piece of fan fiction “The Last Doctor.” Free fan fiction from a professional writer who normally gets paid to pen Who stories. These are blessed times we live in.
