Sam bounds down the stairs, a basket in her arms, full of presents. She carefully places each one on the Bar, and tells who it is for. Then she races back upstairs. Jay Leno is on, you see.

There is a fireball, dancing around the bar. It continuously flashes red and green, dancing merrily, carefully setting nothing on fire.
One Opener is directing this fire ball witha finger, concentrating quite a lot on keeping it under control. It's not an illusion this time, and he's making sure he can keep control.
Have at!

PeeJee is sick, and on a certain Milliversary, too. Kitt is given charge of distributing the Christmas gifts PeeJee got for Kitt, Michael, Karr, Bonnie, Eddie, Tim, Asar-Suti, Sunny, Sunny's Parents, Eska, and secondarily (because she knows them a bit, but not well enough to buy big gifts well or reasonably), Svava, Laini, Windows 95, Ray Stantz, Meg Giry, Kitty Pryde, John Sheppard, Indiana Jones, Anthy Himemaya, and River Tam.

The weather is doing odd things outside. Not even Cywyllog, in her drunken, half frozen state is nuts enough to stay out in that, so she stumbles back into the bar.
Somehow she manages to steady herself on a barstool, and returns not only the glass, but the empty wine bottle, just like she promised. She then folds her arms on the counter, and rests her head, shivering.

Kitt had had a rather interesting last while. Spending the night in a hospital room in Boston was unexpected. But she'd done as PeeJee had asked. She'd gotten the bag of holding with all of her intended gifts to people in the bar and brought it in with her. Kitt also didn't expect the jeans-and-T-shirt outfit to suddenly change into a short-skirted, tall-booted she-Santa outfit.
"...It isn't Halloween," she complained to the open air.

"Lady Bar, a plate of eggs, bread, cheese, and orange juice please."
The order is delivered and he tucks into it.

So, a space bum walk into the bar.
In his early aftrenoon, half asleep daze, he makes it about halfway to the Bar before he realises that his leathers have been replaced by a wide skirted, extravagent dress (and army boots), and his locks morphed into an equally extravagent girly wig.
"What the smegging hell is goin' on?"

He blinks a couple of times, unnecessarily, as he opens his eyes. It appears that he has slept in the booth and is now, not quite sure whether it was intentional.
The first efforts of the morning are directed toward convincing himself that it was all a dream. And perhaps it was. He saw it several times over, in them, after all. But that broken glass, still on the table, is really doing nothing to reassure.
So there he remains sitting, head still in his arms, staring out at the bar and it's patrons, at nothing specific. He is frightened, and for once it may show. Come remind him that speaking to Satan is supposed to have ramifications, and that he got himself into this. He wont be very glad to hear it, but his mun will laugh.

Because mun isn't cruel and doesn't want to keep her three of her Bound pups unplayed and lonely over Christmas ...
Secretary of Defence James Heller (
sec_def) wanders back into the bar after another quiet night - and the first thing he notices is that he can see the door. He briefly contemplates leaving a note for Jack, but in truth, he just wants to get out of here. He needs to go home and find his daughter and see if she's alright. So he doesn't hesitate, just glances around the bar, then walks back into the White House for a long-delayed meeting with the President.
Ten mintues after that, Jason Bourne (
a_spy_adrift) looks up from his despondent examination of the exploding Universe outside the observation window - and when he sees the door, he picks up the ever-present bag at his feet and simply leaves. No qualms, he's desperate to get back and find his memories.
About an hour later, Bond walks in from the lake, where he'd been taking an early walk. He's been quiet because - well, this is the second Christmas without Tracey and it's depressing for him. It may possibly be preferable to getting fired by M, which is what had been about to happen when he came in...but no, not really. So he doesn't even stop for breakfast, which he's usually fastidious about. And there's no look back, he just walks straight out of the door and closes it quietly behind him.
[OOC: All back in the New Year when mun will stop playing with Evil and let the good guys have a run out, promise.]

Venom sits in a booth, scowling.
Maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Maybe he didn't get enough sleep. Or maybe the santa hat that Bar has decided to place upon his head is finally getting to him. Yes, Venom is cursed, just as he was the night before, with a santa hat that simply won't go away. He's ripped it to shreds, 'accidentally' lost it, and even eaten it once or twice. No good. It comes back every time.
Come by and say hello, he wouldn't mind the company. 'Course, he'd never admit that.

Sarah had come in with her normal two boxes of stuff, still distributing gifts here and there as she saw people.
Bar, it seemed, had decided that she wasn't festive enough and had changed her christmas tree sweater and stripey socks into a full on Sugarplum Fairy tutu and tiara, spangles, scepter and all.
Surprisingly, onc she got over the shock, she just went with it, asking Bar for a couple things before settling herself in a booth with a flounce, keeping the scepter on hand for poking people with.
Grinning, perhaps plotting superhero inna tutu inna booth, she's got presents, go talk to her, really, she doesn't bite.
(got a bit of patchy time before off to do fambly stuff, then on again when I get home until I fall asleep. Tag away if you're good with slowtime)

Dana somehow managed to drag Peter into the bar despite the season. He never liked Christmas for many reasons.
Until she pointed out that he did have some of his family and friends here.
He warmed to the idea until they stepped into the bar.
He was wearing THE outfit. Yes, Egon and Ray, THAT one. Only it's not a wig this time.
"Did I mention how much I hate this holiday?"
Dana tried to respond, but was too busy laughing.
She finally replied through giggles, "So this happen often?"
"For holidays. Bar's showing her quirky side again. And why aren't you in a costume?"
"Just lucky I guess?" She smiled, still laughing some at him while he fumed.

Already clad in complicated black and violet Ihlini robes for the parties he's got to attend later, Asar-Suti came in briefly and dropped a pile of small parcels under the Christmas tree: all books and movies, for Námo, Nerdanel, Guppy Sandhu, Green!Jack, Gil Grissom, Charlie Pace, Claire Littleton, Strahan, Gorlim, everybody who'd been on the gardening team, Kitt, Eddie the plane, PeeJee, Bonnie Barstow, Meg Giry, Bonnie Barstow and Ray Stantz.
The presents to the hosts of the Christmas parties he'll deliver in person; and Gil will get his in private, because it is very special.-

It's a confident and unaffected Mel that walks down the stairs, which should surprise no one, really, for those that know her well enough to be privy to the hardcore thinking she had to do yesterday, also know her well enough to know that she doesn't really wear those thoughts on her sleeve...
..a sleeve which changes as she walks into the bar, her T shirt morphing into a light green tunic. Her pants disappear and are replaced by brown shorts - very shorts - over tights. A hat sporting a feather appears on her head, and the scythe on her back drops to the floor as the clothes change.
It's when she picks it up that she notices the change. for the scythe has changed most of all: the shiny red blade havign been replaced with a red and white hankerchief knotted in a bundle.
"What the rut?"

No, her arms are full of small packages and she moves with an almost marionette-like jerkiness. If anyone were to pay attention, to look, to notice, they'd see her eyes, blue as sky and as empty. Soulless.

She lays the packages on Bar's surface, speaking only names for the recipients.

A few hours spent with Nerdanel that morning had allowed Námo to learn the skill of wrapping gifts.
It was... an experience.
While he does have gifts for Lee, Gorlim, and Melkor, they remain in his room. Those were for later. For privacy.
What he does is leave with bar are gifts for Asar-Suti, Ramon and Random, and Abby Sciuto.
(Yes. The little sprite of a girl who amuses him with her odd drinks and stranger chemistry.)
( The Gifts )
He pauses for a moment, then speaks to Bar.
"I am unsure what I should give to Nerdanel. She is now expecting a child. Could you assist me, Lady Bar?"
A slim electronic device appears as Námo's tab depletes further. He picks it up, turns it around, plays a moment with the earpieces and the additional headset, and then shrugs, slipping it all into a pale purple bag for the Elf. He trusts Bar.
"Thank you, Lady Bar. Please make certain she receives it."
He gives her a bow and walks back toward his room.

A stack of gifts makes its way to beneath the Christmas tree. Behind it is a smallish musician, who looks pleased and relieved when they're all in place.
Charlie has his guitar on a strap over his back, and once the gifts are safely stowed he sits near the fireplace and starts playing Christmas carols.
The best part of the season, after all, is the music. It's his gift to everyone.

She also looks far more cheerful than she did yesterday, although this is difficult to discern due to the overlarge red scarf she has wrapped around her neck and lower face. Occasionally the scarf is lowered by a few inches so she can take a sip of nog.

At the bar, with tea and biscuits, is the Doctor, just watching the bar with obvious pleasure. He loves it when people are happy.
The biscuits, by the way, were helpfully supplied by Geoff, who is a bit down the bar with a very large plate of assorted goodies and a small sign that says "HELP YOURSELF!"
Javier Vachon is sitting in a booth by the Observation Window, drinking a mug of warm blood and watching the destruction.

At the bar, with tea and biscuits, is the Doctor, just watching the bar with obvious pleasure. He loves it when people are happy.
The biscuits, by the way, were helpfully supplied by Geoff, who is a bit down the bar with a very large plate of assorted goodies and a small sign that says "HELP YOURSELF!"

Anoia was in the bar, spangly as ever, wearing yet another hogswatch apron, pockets full to bursting with little ribbon-tied bundles of various drawer-sticking objects.
It is quite possible that she'll give one or two to you if you can tell her what's in them, or y'know, just go talk to her.
(slowtime eminent, but had to drop her in just to keep my brain from breaking at my grampa's and family dinner, ditto for Clive momentarily)

The angel himself is scarce today, and may well be scarce tomorrow, but everyone in the bar will receive, the next time they should happen to order anything from the Bar, a small box of six tiny chocolate truffles, half the size of normal ones, and the adults will also receive a cup of hot spiced wine.

Clive was in the bar, over near the fire, smiling and sipping his cocoa, he missed being at home for christmas, but since he was stuck here, he was going to make the most of it, he had a sprig of holly clipped into his bangs by way of decoration, and was content just watching the celebrations going on around him.
Which isn't to say he wouldn't like company of course, he looks just about as relaxed and happy as he ever has.

Wes isn't entirely sure when this Earth holiday is, but he supposes it's soon, and he also supposes he ought to be getting things for a few people, if it's like Fete Week. Other people have given him gifts already, after all.
So he's sitting at the Bar with a chocolate milkshake and a sheet of paper with some scrawled names, which he's staring at thoughtfully.
Oh ... and he's wearing a very big, very bright and very absurd dress. Complete with pretty floral bonnet.
No, he has no idea why Bar's put him in this; he glances down at himself every so often and pulls a face.
"Kriffin' women's clothing again."

It's an early Christmas present to her.
With a happy sigh, she sits on a red stool, looking around the bar randomly.

At some point in the evening, a small, solemn girl heavily laden with packages comes into the bar and heads for the Christmas tree.
A few moments later, she leaves, looking more than a little pleased with herself. As far as Mary is concerned, she has Done Christmas Right.
Each package is neatly wrapped in brown paper tied with ribbon, and accompanied by a note written in a round, careful hand.

Abs comes into the bar, wearing a less than conventional yellow luminous waistcoat with 'Nurse' on the back. He heads straight over to Bar.
"Bar, sweety, I need a bit of a favour. I need fifty pre-packaged sandwiches of various flavours and with at least some suitable for vegitarians, twenty five dairy milk chocolate bars and two very strong cups of coffee, to go. Guppy says he'll pay half of that until I can claim it back from work."
There is a slight pause before the food appears in a large cardboard box.
"Yeah, good thinking. Thanks Bar, I owe you one."
He sits down heavily on the bar stool, swigs at his coffee and feels something odd.
He looks down and sees something pink and fluffy.
Then he realises his trousers have been... replaced.
He stares down and looks at Bar.
"Er... bar, much as your sense of humour is appreciated amongst all this pain, suffering and death, why do I get the end with the udder?"

Coming out from Sara's Christmas Eve party, Anthony was in a good mood and slightly tipsy. Which was why he stared at the door for a few moments thinking he had far too much to drink.
Because it was a door. Not a wall.
He blinked a few times and ordered coffee and stared and stared and stared until he convinced himself that the door was really there. He took in a deep breath and left his coffee at the bar. He was wearing his White Sox pullover, the same he'd been wearing when he came in. He had his wallet with him and everything he needed to walk back out. He didn't need to get anything else, did he?
At that thought, he ran back upstairs to retrieve the book he had left in his room, as well as a few items of clothing Bar had given him that he had liked. He would look awkward carrying these things downstairs, but hopefully he'd be let out at his home.
So, then, he didn't mind if people stared at him as he marched through the bar towards the door. Because he was going home. That was the only thing he needed to care about. Without looking back, Anthony opened the door and walked through.
---
Previously, he had left a few presents at the bar:
( Michelle Dessler )
( Elaine le Blanke )
( Sara Sidle )
( Gil Grissom )
( Jack Bauer )
( Doctor Gregory House )

Sikozu is up in the rafters tonight. No, she's not on the ceiling, but just sitting up there, watching things below. It had never occured to her until recently this could be done. It's interesting looking at things from this height right side up.
Of course, she was on the ceiling earlier, and all the mistletoe has been moved around. Perhaps she missed her calling as a Trickster. Perhaps not.
Feel free to look up and notice.

Sometime earlier in the day, Tom brought Ingress to the bar with many, many presents for all the people Ingress loves.
She is not quite her chipper self, and they don't stay long, but she's happier once all the presents are spread out under the tree.
Since she's been rather cooped up in the House of Arch all week, so she's had time to make everyone on her list a beautiful glitter covered pinecone placed atop a paper plate with cotton balls on for snow. These creations rest on baskets filled with sugar quills,fizzing whizbees, pepper imps, Ice Mice, and chocolate frogs.
There is a pinecone and a candy basket for the following people:
River, Lilly, Mike, Meg, Raven, Eddie and Susannah, Mal, Amy, Anne, Alanna, Charlie, Brian, Faith, Wash, Mary, Crowley and Aziraphael, and 'Dora, Bernard, and Sunny.
Ones for Arithon, Lucy, and Susan are under the tree in the front gallery of the House of Arch.
Tom and Door haven't finished wrapping their presents. Even with wrapping charms, they've been a bit busy.
OOC: If I missed someone, they got a basket. Ingress has lots of friends.
