Finnigan's RPG

I had hoped my name wouldn't come up, but I just got an owl summoning me to help with a dragon.

The only help I'm generally asked to do with that, is when one dies and the parts have to be taken care of, which can be rather lengthy and messy.

So I'll be away several days, I fear. I'll find someone to mind the shop while I'm gone, even if it's Grandfather.

Private to Rose
Sorry I have to go so quickly, love. I'll be back as soon as I can. Love you! Can you take care of Bast while I'm away?

Private to Dennis
Sorry I'll miss lunch tomorrow, but I'll be back soonest, yes? Raincheck?

And I have very much to do, it feels like, before it gets here. Tradition has always been important to my family, even when we had little enough to share.

I find I will miss the koledari coming by the house. Things are not the same here, though I know there are carolers.

I am inviting my family here, though, even if I do not know who all will be able to get away for several days. Now that we have all technically grown up, family seems much more scattered.

And I have to finish shopping for the children, of course. Tsveta will not be too hard, I think, but Misha? I know he might not remember this Christmas, being so young, but that does not let me slack off for him. We will see. I will have to make time for shopping the next couple of weeks.
