My husband tells me that our son won't remember his first Christmas - being, as he is, under a year old. But still. After the ups and downs of this year, I felt the need for a little cheer.

So, this afternoon, I finally finished decorating our home for Christmas. I'm rather proud of how it's all turned out.

The Minister greatly appreciates all of the well wishes she has received during this trying time. She is on the mend and will recover from her injuries. We have suffered terrible losses with the death of Auror Alastor Moody, but we will prevail against these terrorists. His death will not be in vain and the Minister vows to continue the fight against the Death Eaters until they have all been captured or killed.

Until then, a curfew will be put in place. Everyone is to be home before dark, no exceptions. If this will affect your business you may submit a request for supplemental funding to help keep you afloat for the moment. We know that this is inconvenient, but we are committed to the safety of our citizens. While the Death Eaters are uncontained and unpredictable we all must make adjustments to keep ourselves safe.

We would also like to encourage everyone not to enter the Muggle world for the time being. In this time where the targets are clearly Muggles and Muggleborns it is best to keep the boundaries between our worlds separate.

What are you doing tomorrow evening, my love?

Are you attached to the idea of a formal wedding or could you live with being married in secret somewhere that I won't be arrested for being in public with you?
