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.

	Almost on cue the dramatic rising horn comes through again. Loudly. And on cue with the foreboding horn of doom, all the guests around them freeze and turn to stare. Alec just gives Maggie a Look. Ears checked eh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maggie stops cold, presses her lips into a thin line, then waves her hands at the guests as if to say back to your own fucking business. She's trying to hold the best poker face possible, but her cheeks are beginning to redden.

And the backtracking begins. "Fine. Since yesterday." She scratches her neck, uncomfortable, and peers over her shoulder to see if she's still being watched by confused partygoers. The answer is yes. "It's making my best behaviour a wee challenge."

[fyi, sands has total godmod permission for the awful purse noise!]

A few guests glance back at her again, some confused while some of the older ones look on in disdain at the uncouth interruption. Manners young lady!

Part of Alec is a little disappointed he doesn't have a picture of the moment, the frozen poker faced embarrassment and blush, to give to Peggy. But either way, it looks like the effort of this meddling was already worth it.

"Well...I can see how it'd be a wee bit...offputting. What sets it off?" He asks, neutral tone still in place as they reach the dance floor.
