I wrote two stories this year -- my assignment and then a last-minute treat just because -- so there's one in the main Yuletide collection and one in the Yuletide Madness collection.
If you guess either of them... um... I will write you a ficlet of at least 500 words? They are both in fandoms for which I have previously written. I feel that one of them is blatantly obviously mine, while the other might be recognizable as mine via context clues if you've read my other work in that particular fandom.
Anyway, now let me talk about my gifts -- because I got gifts, plural! Two whole stories!! This is extremely exciting!!!

And now I am going to read some more in the Yuletide collections, and maybe poke at a couple of my WIP prompt ficlets, before I go visit Susan (outside! standing six feet apart!) around 4pm to exchange Christmas gifts.
