O Holy Night! [M]y [F]etish is Born…

Hey r/gonwewildstories. I’ve been reading this sub for a long time, but I’m not active on reddit in general so I’ve never posted a story of my own. I’m a 30 year old dude who just finished up a very busy year in my grad program, which means that now I have a little downtime so I figured why not give back. This is my first time writing a personal story of any kind, so be gentle I guess? I hope you like it…
