All I want for Christmas is a match in which both teams score a century before you figure in the Snitch. The sum of both team's goals, that is.

[Conspiracy Trio]

Now that the dust from the hearings has died down a little, what are our collective thoughts on the hearings, and who spoke and didn't, apart from the obvious?

And this match, what in Godric's name?

Also, just for your information, in case you think the referendum plays into it, I've seen the numbers for the poll that will go out this week, probably Wednesday. 38 percent for, 31 percent against, 31 percent undecided. I think a bunch of those so-called undecided voters just don't want to admit how they're voting.

[Press ward (you know who you are)]
So what do we do over the long holiday with no quidditch?

[Urq siblings]
Christmas presents for the family, go.

I'm sure any socks you made would be brilliant. Even if they were your first. And Da would love them because they're from you.

While that might've worked 15years ago....I think the standards for gifts have changed a wee bit.

There's nothing we can get Da that he couldn't buy better for himself, so honestly, the point is to demonstrate effort and attention to his tastes. While taste is questionable, you can't beat the effort level of handmade, Alec.

I think you just want a good chuckle at me doing handmade socks.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on handmade socks. Besides, it's hardly a gift we can all pitch in for unless one of you does gloves and the other does an ugly sweater.

It would be mittens and it's not my fault you can't knit.

I thought you had enough skill not to be beaten by mere fingers.

And less practical. Sounds like an excuse to avoid knitting fingers to me.

Sounds like an excuse to avoid knitting at all on your part.

Nice try but not getting goaded into knitting for Da.

Not on me if you do it or no; just saying if you're going to try to goad people into knitting, you need to be prepared to knit.

I wasn't goading I was joking! Anyway this still doesn't help us with the issue of Da's gift...

Thank you for the contribution.

We have a gift idea for mum at least. Got anything for Da?

What about a commissioned tapestry? Or arranging for him to be on his favorite news broadcast?

I found it rather amusing myself, and sometimes that'a all you need.

Well, remind me never to ask you to knit something for me going forward.

I was fairly certain you already knew better. Ask Rhi. She's more malleable.

Commissioned tapestry is a great idea for next year; we can't get it done that quickly, I don't think.

Is any Urquhart really all that malleable to begin with?

Point. I'd forgotten how close we are to Yule.

I don't know.

I don't really have a strong desire to get him much of anything, truthfully.

The fallback gift is always whiskey.

We could get him shares in a whiskey distillery.

That works for me. We can start planning in January.
