Umm... yeah.

 Dear Yuletide Author,

First, thank you so much for writing something for me! Yuletide is always a bright spot in my year, and I love thinking about so many people giving word-gifts to each other. 

Second, write whatever your heart/spirit/mind calls you to write. 

Third, take chances. Feel free to write something that you've never done before. Alternately, if you never write cosy and funny and sweet, but you have a perverse urge to try it out (or your life has been such that cosy and funny and sweet would be a real relief to do), please do so. It's all good. 

Fourth, thank you again for existing and for being willing to write a thing.

Yuletide love to you,

LionessElise
