226 [Action] | Closed party for Merlotte's employees
[Sam has encouraged his employee's to take the holiday off to go and enjoy the snow or festivities while they last (This is part of their gift from him). He won't force people to leave if they insist on working but Merlotte's probably won't be very busy anyway.

Later this evening he'll close the bar down for a christmas party he's throwing for his employee's. They've been told they can bring one guest of their choosing, be it a friend, significant other or a family member! Food, drinks, music, gifts, the whole shebang just for his wonderful volunteers. Happy Holidays!]

~~Sam will be giving certain special ladies (and Spike) gifts for the holiday!~~

Buffy - A silver necklace With a thicker made chain so if she needs to use it ...
Sookie - A pair of earrings
Lacus - A Lotus necklace
Rose - A bottle of red wine
Spike - A bottle of whiskey-- Both packaged together "For the happy couple. Seasons Greetings. Sam"

((ooc: I am open for other people tagging Sam outside of Merlotte's for gift giving or otherwise!))

[Lacus has a busy day today, but of course she wouldn't miss a party at Merlotte's. Her schedule can find room for someone as kind and wonderful as Sam.]

[And of course she's brought him a gift. Not wanting to duplicate gifts among bar owners, she's brought Sam a collection of carved beer taps with the name "Merlotte's Bar" burned into them in neat calligraphy. Each one has a space for individual labeling, done in chalkboard so it can be revised at a later date.]

[For the other employees, she made liquor-infused cupcakes which are conspicuously arranged on a tray for anyone who might like one. Each has a miniature chocolate bottle on top with a tiny icing label to indicate the vintage.]

[Aside from gift-giving, Lacus can be found socializing, dancing, and possibly singing if the occasion calls for it, her well-trained voice gets too little practice these days. But she is mindful of the time, not wanting to neglect her other plans.]

	[When Lacus hands him the beer taps he's absolutely speechless. He carefully handles each one of them as if they are fragile and precious. Well, they are precious, this is quite possibly one of the most beautiful and thoughtful gifts he's ever gotten.] I don't know what to say. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	On the contrary, that was the perfect thing to say. [Hopefully he's too dumbfounded to pull back when she stretches up to kiss his cheek.] But truly, it is I who should give you thanks. This place has given me a place to feel at home in this new dome when I had thought, for a time, that was something I could never have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A kiss on the cheek is perfectly fine and he gives her a small lop-sided smile.]

That in itself is one of the best gifts anyone could give me, cause that's just what I wanted this bar to be.

But these... [Holding up the beer taps proudly.] These are gorgeous too.

[He'll set them down somewhere carefully to be put on his taps, then he'll turn around and pick up a gift off the back counter to hand it to her. It's small but wrapped nicely with a bow on top.]

Here, I got ya little somethin' too.

	[Lacus looks delighted at the box even before she opens it. With her, it really is the thought that counts.] Thank you, Sam! How thoughtful of you. [Upon opening the box, her smile softens and she instantly removes the gorgeous necklace and opens the clasp.] It's lovely! Would you help me put it on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's been a long, busy day but without any real plans for the evening (and with the most important ritual well out of the way) Aidan is happy to take the night off for a work party. A little drinking, food, some semi-public makeouts with his boyfriend and, of course, the chance to give his boss a gift. Happy, relaxed and exceedingly approachable throughout the night! ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Said boss is making his rounds to everyone for hello's or well wishes and to see how they're enjoying themselves. So that's just what he'll do when he approaches Aidan.] Happy Holidays Aidan, you enjoyin' all of this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He brightens when Sam approaches, shifting some with excitement. ] Yeah, I'm havin' fun! It's, uh... different. [ He scratches his neck, subconsciously displaying his neatly bandaged hand. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well... it ain't like what we do back home, for starters. There's a whole lot more of it here, I guess. I don't know if it's a prison thing or a Christmas thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
