it's yuletide time again

I wasn't going to do my yuletide sign-up as soon as the form opened, but I was still up and it was the wee hours of the morning across North America and odds were that a lot of people had gone to bed rather than waiting so I figured, since I was ready, I would just get it in there. And now for the traditional letter to my yuletide writer, to be opened on the occasion of our matching.
