No, don't worry. Just a bit of giving and sharing in the spirit of the season, whether you follow a tradition of not.
I invite you to a small and informal Yule Party!
I've seen memes on individual journals where people post their wishes and get some fulfilled by people on their flist.
I've seen comments here and there that people don't have any icons, would like a banner, an illustration, a drabble, something else.
Does that sound like another exchange to you? No, no, it isn't, not really.
What I want you to do is this: reply to this post and post three ideas or wishes. I'll post my own underneath in a reply so you can see what I mean.
(But don't annoy us––as an aside to the sporkers. ;) ) ETA: Please post your gifts in a separate post. That way we'll all pay attention and can admire properly. If you're not a snapedom member, I can post them in your name. But chat as much as you like on this thread here. :)

If you have time, feel like it, clean up your harddrive and find things... maybe one of these things would fulfill one of my wishes without costing you much work and time. Then, please, go and fulfill it. Or combine wishes and post a general gift, make a post where you post your icons you don't mind being used by others. Like that. You don't need to claim a prompt. You can even fulfill or post wishes anonymously, either by asking me to post it for you or by replying to this post here.
If you post wishes here, be aware that they don't have to be fulfilled. They shouldn't cost money either. This would exclude most crafts and original art, this time around. Please restrict it to gifts that can be posted here. The prompts are more meant as idea-givers than as personal gifts you desperately want to get. Make it 'nice-to-have' not 'must-have' prompts. Really personal wishes should be kept to your private journals.
Most presents really are meant for everyone, even if they are triggered by a prompt. Some wishes may be fulfilled in a personal way, others may be for all of us. Some wishes may be fulfilled many times, some never. Don't be upset when that happens, just post them again in another fest/exchange. We're all busy this time of the year. Let's see if we can come up with a bit of Underground-fluff at all. ;)
I'll make tags for the yule party. Just add it please. That can go on as long or short as you like.
The prompts/wishes can be, but don't have to be Severus-related. You can ask if someone has a great recipe for oatmeal cookies or Dresdener Christstollen. You can ask if someone wants to write you a Luna/Harry drabble with you as a Mary-Sue in a threesome in it, whatever takes your fancy. Maybe you can sing or make music, sing along with David Bowie's Underground song and post it here.
