the displaced; ic

If you're expecting me to buy you a present, you're going to be disappointed. Never been good at picking shit out for other people, and I ain't going to start trying. Unless you want laundry detergent or air fresheners in your stockings. Before anybody starts accusing me of having a crappy holiday attitude, don't bother because I don't care.

Of course, where I'm from the Christmases isn't as festive as they are here. Dumbledore tried, reckoned it would boost morale, and it was easy enough to cut down a tree and decorate it with ornaments that were already in storage. But rationing made it so Hogwarts feasts weren't nowhere as opulent as before, and with each passing year it got tighter. If you got a present, it was usually food or something home made. The school had become a refugee camp, so it was hard to get into the spirit when you'd been driven out of your home and / or the faces of your loved ones were gnawed off by zombies. Times like that is when you really appreciate what you have, along with those people around you. Too bad there ain't a way to send stuff to those that are still there.

I have a manor decorated for Christmas.

You have no plans or desire to cook a whole fucking dinner.

I'm hosting a waifs and strays Christmas dinner on Monday. 1pm. You can come a little earlier for refreshments, you can stay a while afterwards for cards and conversation.

A+ for effort?

NOCTIS.
So I was thinking - maybe we should ask some people over on Christmas Eve? Like nothing big and we don't have to cook dinner or anything, but just to come by for a drink and we can buy some desserts or something. It'll give us a chance to hand off their presents too.

SHERLOCK.
Hey, can I ask you something?

PIXIE.
I had some questions for you - about that whole teleporting thing? If you've got a few minutes?

BELLAMY BLAKE:

You should probably know that I've taken over guardianship of someone. His name is Steven Universe, and he's probably the sweetest kid I've ever met. You'll like him.

That means, though, that I will probably have to move into his place. He says there are extra rooms, so I might see if he'd mind if you came with me.

a place to put yourself until something

better comes along."

Private to Integra

My Master, would you care to accompany me to Bloodstone Manor for afternoon festivities on Christmas Day?

KYLO REN

I'd like to speak to you.

MARGO HANSON

Do you have plans for New Years yet?

MAX GUEVARA

How do you feel about a girl's night for New Years? I was thinking of inviting Margo and maybe we could see if a few others would like to join us? Also,
do you think we should maybe get a tree?

SHIRO

Do you like Christmas movies?

I feel like I've been working on college applications my whole life. I know that's not true, but it feels like it is. At least there's architecture courses.
