Thread: Christmas in July WHO: ALL (tag in as you please) WHEN: July 25th, sundown WHERE: Outdoor pool, school grounds
The party was like a Christmas Luau. It was situated at the outdoor pool, but had spread out onto the lawn as the sun went down. Lights were strung everywhere, multi-colored and bright white snowflake shaped strands that decorated even the branches of the trees and hung like falling snow. As the sun set, the party really came alive. Vampires could come out from under the shade and enjoy it more. The BBQ was in full swing, the grill cooking up chicken, hamburgers, and hotdogs, as well as whatever else the students brought to grill. There were tubs filled with ice and drinks - no alcohol within easy sight because the party was open to any passing staff member.
Several of the pine trees were decorated with ornaments and had a star on the tops. Lucia had gotten into the spirit of things and created a snowy hill for people to sled down. A snowball fight seemed to break out every five minutes. Some of them even made it into the pool. The majority of the students had on Santa hats or reindeer antler headbands and red noses. There was a gift exchange/white elephant section. Someone had volunteered to be St. Nick in Hawaiian flowered board shorts, long white beard, and sunglasses. He welcomed anyone to come sit on his lap. Not far from Santa, mistletoe was hanging in plain sight.
Sara ran around making sure the food and drinks didn't run out, that people were not getting too out of hand, and that they didn't destroy any of the school property where the party was being held, including pouring anything into the pool. She'd promised the Groundskeeper that everything would be cleaned up after the party ended.
Towards the end of the night, sparklers were handed out and a firework show started with leftover supplies from the Fourth.
