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.

	Alec will go for a dance nearer the end of the night! (when you've danced with all the partners you want or need to and it's when the stragglers or ones you don't want get bold) And ask her how it's been going so far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peggy will have a couple of things to talk about after the party but probably not while they're there. How are things going for Alec? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alec is happy to leave them until after and not pry, if Peggy says it's not for the party then it's not for the party.

He's pretty good for once, work is good busy, he managed to escape mum almost suggesting they get permission for a little music room performance, and one of his side projects turned out better than he hoped. Namely that dramatic foghorn-type noise some people heard on the dancefloor earlier. All in all not bad on his end.

	(oh mum NO) What was that? Peggy was avoiding that section of the floor For Reasons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

(ooc: someone needs to get Agnes Urquhart for their next event so she can show them how things are really done)

Understandable but a bit of a shame. Would've seen quite a stunned and embarrassed but irate looking Maggie there. Turns out her purse has been making some awful ominous foghorn type sounds on a certain cue all day and now it's become random. Really quite embarrassing and apparently made her work rather difficult for her...

Alec gives his sister a small smile, hoping the purpose and parallel he was going for was clear enough.

How very unfortunate. And in such a public place now too!

He's grinning at her reaction because he missed a happier Peggy. 'You should've seen her face both when it blared at the worst times and when she realized it was me'. He'll admit he initially keyed the charm to go off with Peggy comments for the fearing Peggy aspect, but made sure it would wear off enough to start setting off at random. (He might've even recorded the sound he wanted with help from the piano at home >.>) And that David helped distract so he could get the journal after the Portree meeting (shout out to the little brother).

	Peggy hasn't warded Maggie since the debacle so it was good to make it go off randomly. David <3 Alec <3 (Reply to this) (Parent)
