Upon entering the flat, the guests are greeted by a very excited Mischief, who is wearing his holiday best - including a Christmas Tree hat that lit up. The hosts were there in types of denim and t-shirts, Sirius sporting a Santa hat that lit up much like the dogs. Emmeline had on a pair of antlers with tinsel wrapped around them.
There was a buffet of hot finger sandwiches, snack mixes, meatballs, crisps, vegetables, and a variety of dips. There was a spread of candies and cookies. There were red cups that had 'Santa belts' on them for the water or punch that was available. Over by the fireplace, there was a hot cocoa bar - with mugs and toppings. Including marshmallows made to look like snow people.
The balcony was charmed to be warm with chairs and throws to give more room.
The entire flat was a riot of colors - reds, greens, golds, silvers...with Christmas music playing. By the door, there were gift bags for everyone to pick up on the way out. Inside were cookies, a sleighbell with a ribbon with the year on it as a tree ornament, and cocoa mix with a peppermint stir stick. Next to it was a bowl with bits of parchment there to add names to vote for the most festive ensemble.
