HOLIDAY FIC RECS - UPDATED!!!
Yay it's holiday time again and I'm a-rolling in with an updated rec list for my fandom lovelies :D :D :D
Walking in a Winter Wonderland by TurtleTotem
Charles hasn’t seen Erik since their devastating breakup ten years ago. He’s certainly the last person he expects to run into at a Christmas lights display.
Terrible Hanukkah Sweaters and Other Life Challenges by professor (series)
“Why am I here again?” Erik groans.
“I need you to lift things and glower at people over my shoulder when I tell people that it’s not ‘politically correct’ or a ‘war on Christmas’ to have a non-denominational winter holiday festival,” says Theresa Pryde.
Well, at least those are two things he’s good at.
soul of my soul by ikeracity
You can imprint on your soulmate anywhere — school, work, on the street, in a restaurant, on the subway. Charles and Erik imprint on each other just in time for the holidays.
The Holiday Lights Battle by so_shhy
Some people take their Christmas lights a little too seriously. Erik is one of those people. So is his new neighbour, Sebastian Shaw.
Winter Song by ikeracity
They manage to make time to be together on New Year’s Eve 1999 into 2000.
table for three by pocky_slash
Erik should have known to call ahead to the Chinese restaurant–it’s Christmas Eve and he lives in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, after all. But before he can go home to mourn the loss of another one of his mother’s yearly traditions, he’s accosted by a teenage girl with a strange proposition–that he should stay and have dinner with her and her mother, instead.
December, Take Two by mabyn
Charles has no problem being in the same room as his ex at Emma’s holiday party. They’re adults, after all.
Mistletoe, Latkes, and Long-term Revenge Strategies by pocky_slash
Charles knows that Erik hates working at a department store in the best of times. Being Jewish in a department store during the holiday season is far from the best of times. He does what he can to help.
In the Bleak Midwinter by keire_ke
It is not easy to find out, well into the second decade of the twenty-first century, that your mother arranged a marriage for you. It is even less easy to convince her that you have no interest in the very fertile Magda, she of the wide hips and lustrous auburn hair. Fortunately, with a good friend at his side over the holiday weekend, Erik is sure he will prevail.
All We Are We Are by kianspo
Charles's boyfriend breaks up with him days before the holidays. Not willing to ruin anyone else's festive mood, Charles hides this fact from his sister and his friends, and retreats into the family mansion, letting the world move on without him. He's flirting with depression when a one-time ex and a long-term friend surprises him. Long-kept secrets are revealed, and it turns out, Charles hasn't been paying attention to the right things.
Where The Heart Is by professor
It's Christmas, and Charles is sick, and alone. Until he's not.
The Haunting of Erik Lehnsherr: A Christmas Carol by TurtleTotem
Erik's business partner, Emma Frost, died seven years ago. This Christmas Eve, her ghost returns, dragging the chains of eternal torment, to say he can avoid her fate only through the visitation of three spirits, who will show him the mistakes of his past.
festival of lights by pocky_slash
A series of ficlets featuring Erik celebrating Hanukkah in various verses.
Watching the Stars Slide Down by groovyphilia
Seventeen-year-old Charles Xavier is ridiculously wealthy, and is used to being paraded around for show at his mother’s high-society Christmas parties. He’s always been rather sporting about it, and dutifully rubs shoulders with the elite every year in the glitz of the mansion ballroom.
This year, he meets a man by the name of Erik Lehnsherr.
New Way Home by luninosity
Christmas at the mansion (written November 2011). All the festive holiday fluffiness in the world; protective Erik; tiny bit of emotional h/c near the end; realizations of love.

And of course these classics by Yahtzee (see linked post):
Somewhere I’m Going & Have Never Been Before
Made To Be Broken
Xmas in Connecticut
Red, Gold, and Green

Slow Cooker Pecan Pie Bread Pudding Recipe
When you make this sweet and sticky pecan pie bread pudding in your slow cooker for your holiday guests, they won't have to decide between two of their favorite desserts. 1/8 teaspoon salt, butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 2.5 cups milk, 1 loaf day-old French bread cut into 3/4-inch cubes, 1 cup half-and-half, 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened, 1.5 cups packed brown sugar, 4 large eggs lightly beaten, 1 cup chopped pecans
