Why does the toilet wait until Christmas Eve to start leaking?
I live in a apartment building, so I am concerned about flooding the downstairs neighbor. Luckily it is not the pipes that are leaking, but from the underside of the bowl, so it can only dump the amount of water in the bowl.
It will be fixed, but not without me worrying about it until then!

It's probably the inlet pipe / float valve. I had to replace mine when it started leaking. Fairly easy job, and the entire inlet pipe/float valve assembly was less than $20 at Homo Depot. You don't have a water valve on the lines for the toilet to shut water off to it? Might keep it from leaking until you get a chance to fix it.
