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.

	Kal gives her a "do I have to?" sort of look before tagging along. (Willingly, but she's gotta give Lex a bit of crap.) She's okay to join in on conversation when introduced, though struggles if the other person isn't particularly talkative. She particularly enjoys the tour. This is most definitely not the sort of place she grew up in! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kal refrains from sticking her tongue out, but it's probably pretty obvious she wants to. She's a good sport about it all, though. Also wants to chat with Lex solo outside of the introductions, because it's nice to do so outside of exhausted post-practice dinners. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lex is happy to find a secluded spot (she knows all the spots) and chat with Kal. Something on her mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, no, not any particularly serious chat. Just chatting in general because sometimes it's nice for it to not be all business. She wants to hear about Lex's holidays and what all she's doing on break, that sort of thing. And she'll chat about seeing her sister, planning a visit with her parents, that sort of thing.

	Ernie was happy to meet her on the rotation around! Mainly because he was on his third glass of champagne and not worrying so much about things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She remembers Ernie! And might be a little excited about seeing someone she recognizes from Hufflepuff, even if they didn't know-know each other. I figure she's managed to snag a glass of champagne, too, and it totally does help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	he is amazed anyone remembers him but lol he used to go pretty crazy during exams (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's a bit sheepish about it. She has that quiet person's tendency to sit back and observe everyone around her, so she recognizes far more people than she actually knows. (Reply to this) (Parent)
