For Yuletide, I got this delightful Journey to the West fic: A Peaceful Journey, starring Wukong, the white horse. Which put a big smile on my face because it's what I'd wanted.

Didn't do much for Christmas but did celebrate winter solstice, the day where you eat mochi balls in sweet syrup as a symbol of family reunion. Or something heartwarming like that. Besides, the logical part of my personality approves of commemorating a day that does have a measurable difference i.e. shortest day of the year (though the difference is rather imperceptible in the tropics), rather than a birthday that probably wasn't actually on 25 December two millenia ago.
Still, it seems like most people are enjoying the season - or simply the free time/shopping/chocolates/food! generated by people enjoying the season. Best wishes to all.
