WHO: Everyone! IC/OC
WHEN: Thursday, 21 December 1999
WHERE: The Manor House, Macmillan Park
SUMMARY: Mid-Season (Christmas) Party hosted by the Montrose Magpies at Macmillan Park, cocktail dresses and blazers suggested.
RATING: Low

The Macmillan Family welcomes you to to Macmillan Park for the Mid-Season Yule party for all of Scottish Quidditch (and then some).

The Manor House is decorated for the season, with each room on the first floor having a display of its own. The public areas of the garden are also decorated and kept at a comfortable temperature (as long as you are wearing a cloak) with plenty of warming charms. Christmas crackers are available on all of the tables for all of your paper crown and terrible joke needs.

Finger foods and drinks (alcoholic and non) are plentiful. Eggnog can be made either way and if you want a hot chocolate with a splash of whisky, nobody is going to bat an eye. Entertainment is provided by the Tomnahurich Quartet and the Calanais Singers throughout the night in the main hall. A selection of seasonal songs in the muggle and wizarding traditions were planned, but both groups will take requests. They will be performing both together and separately.

For any children who joined their parents in the festivities, they have their own party going on upstairs in the rarely-used nursery (think very large and extensive playroom with bedrooms nearby and a schooling area). There are kid friendly foods, including sandwiches, personal pizzas in seasonal shapes, a Hot Chocolate Bar, and cherry flavored fizzy drinks. There are, of course, plenty of sweets to be had as well.

	Lorna brought the little ~~MacFarlanes~~ MacFustys up to the nursery. Rhonna was told to be good and listen to her brother, and Fergus was told to be good and not tease his sister. And to play nice with other children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Their idea of "play" for most of the evening was lively re-enactments of Sleeping Beauty, wherein Fergus played the Brave Prince, and Rhonna jumped around pretending to be fearsome Dragon (or sometimes the vines- hard to tell when you're three). Of course, as the game went on, the story deviated wildly from the source material- pretty sure Harry Potter wasn't Sleeping Beauty, but stranger things had happened- but the kids tried very hard to include anyone who was interested in playing along.
