A little of both, but lately I've been more enjoying going out with friends just after the holidays than actually celebrating the dang day itself.

My husband and I have a number of nice traditions between our two families, but our favorite is one dish his family always serves on Christmas Eve.  We go to church services Christmas Eve, then go to his sister's house and eat little snacks.  

Since he could stand, our nephew has always wanted Geno's Pizza Rolls at this get-together.  He stopped liking them years ago, but my sister in law still makes them and puts them on the table!  It's just not Christmas Eve without a plate of pizza rolls on the table that barely anyone touches.  It's weird, but kind of cute in a way.

Title: The Naïvety Implication
Author: she_burns1
Pairing: Sheldon/Penny
Rating: PG-13, mostly for sexual innuendoes
Word Count: 3,755
Summary: Penny finds herself in an embarrassing advertisement and Sheldon shows his true colors.
Disclaimer: All recognizable characters, settings, etc. are the property of their respective owners. The plot is all mine. No copyright infringement is intended.
Author’s Note: This is my holiday swap fic for you_speak_lies. The prompt for this was ‘Penny lands a commercial that's embarrassing or has a jingle/catchphrase that haunts her. Sheldon helps in some way that makes Penny look at Sheldon in a new light.’ I think I did a pretty good job capturing what you wanted, though I would have preferred if it was a bit more romance and less pre-romance/friendship fic, not to mention I am still not fond of the ending, but then, I am my own worst critic, so I think you’ll still like it. Merry Christmas, you_speak_lies! Hope it’s a happy one!


( Penny should have known it was too good to be true. )

 
I'm gone until Monday.  Might post from the road.  Who knows?

Have a great holiday, and see all ya'll in a few.

No. What I regret is not walking off about three jobs I had.
