Write Every Day: Day #24

[auroracloud]

Merry Christmas / holiday of choice to everyone! I am bravely holding on despite our abysmal weather and the onslaught of depressing Finnish Christmas carols on the radio (seriously, WTF, I just don't get it, what's wrong with our people? why do carols have to be super-depressing?). The Christmas tree is pretty, there are lights, I've already had the traditional rice porridge and am now waiting for the Christmas dinner. I expect to get quite stuffed.

Today's writing

I finished all my Yuletide edits! Unless it occurs to me to improve the summary or the tags, I don't plan to touch it anymore before the reveals. About time! I also wrote a little more on the fic I began two nights ago, but I don't currently believe I'll manage to finish it as a treat. No matter, I'll finish it later and post it whenever it's done.

butting in to say, OMG, that is seriously dark crap (the drowned baby Jesus, wtf?!). For Christmas, no less! Is this a genre with a long tradition, or a more recent emo fad?

I probably should have added it's metaphorical in the context. :-P The problem is, they often expect children to sing that song, so children don't necessarily realise it's a metaphor. I think I did, because I don't remember being very traumatized by that, but I hated the song being a huge guilt-trip. That one is one of the classics from at least a century ago, as are some of the others I mentioned, but many newer ones are depressing, too. They seem to have this fad of killing everyone off and then have the singer mourn them. :-P

Like I said, there are nice ones, too, but somehow what I heard this year seemed to only catch the depressing ones.
