A/N: I know that I owe all of you an explanation about this fan fiction author's lack of updates. Well, there are two main factors that contributed. One is that I had a very rough quarter at DePaul (my university). I thought that I wouldn't make it with all the work, research, and time required of me.but I did-as I usually do. Secondly, I had to recollect my thoughts and try to focus more on the story that I wanted to write and share with all my Inuyasha fanfic readers. In other words, I had to make an outline to see where I was going to take "The Greatest Show on Earth". I am in the process of it now and will hopefully have more to post soon (my personal thanks to Artemismoon for the helpful reviews and for pushing me to write again).

The GOOD news is that now I am on break and about ready to write again. I think that this story will basically consist of about twenty or so chapters plus an epilogue. So, please stay tuned!

Also, if I get even more ambitious, I will start to write and post my new fic (A Miroku/Sango pairing) "Once upon a Screenplay" [title is subject to change] after Christmas. This is another idea that I had that is based on a movie I saw one afternoon.

Again, gomen nasai minna-san. Please, stay tuned for some more of "The Greatest Show on Earth" which, should be posted by the end of the week. Please remember to read and review the new stuff too. The more reviews I have, the more often I will write. REMEMBER THAT.your reviews are important to me because I need to know that I am writing stuff that people will actually read and hopefully enjoy.

So, for your current entertainment, I present to you my rendition of "The Anime Days of Christmas". It was written about two years ago on Christmas Eve. Enjoy:
