The Door opens. A reddish half-grown standard poodle puppy dashes through, followed by a length of leash, followed by YT. The puppy is totally psyched to SNIFF ALL THE THINGS, and YT has to make a determined effort to avoid being dragged around on the end of the leash.

"Stella! Stella, heel," YT instructs.

The puppy - Stella - complies, albeit with a big dose of guilt-inducing Sad Puppy Eyes. YT gives it a couple of seconds, then starts walking around the perimeter of the room, gently tugging the leash to indicate that Stella should come with her. It's only fair to let Stella sniff things, but she has to behave herself and do it on YT's terms. Which means no, Stella, you can't chew on the elf dolls.

YT herself is dressed festively in - from the feet up - ankle-high faux-fur-lined boots, jeans, and an ugly Christmas sweater with an unbuttoned red trench coat over it. The coat has lots of pockets, just the way YT likes it, but most of them are hidden. YT's also wearing a backpack with various Christmas gifts for her Milliways pods.

[OOC: See this back room post for the people on YT's Christmas list. If you tag this post you will get your gift in person. Otherwise she will leave it at the Bar for you.]

A Very Merry Christmas

[7twistedwishes]

So, there is some new Xmas Decorative Set against a wall; lounging upon the divan, there is a Devil, dressed in a very elegant Mrs. Claus costume, sipping hot chocolate very daintly.

Oh, come on, you know you want to ask...

It can be a little... complicated when you've been coming to a magical bar for nearly twelve years. So for the last few years*, Guppy has been leaving vouchers with the bar rather than presents, because more often than not they don't get picked up.

So if you're friends with Guppy, you'll find yourself in receipt of a voucher for a rather nice golden syrup cake, or lemon drizzle, whichever you prefer and catered to dietary needs.

If you're friends with the children, you'll receive a decorated cardboard box containing a gingerbread person which kind of resembles yourself, depending on the level of artistic talent of the child that decorated it.


[*Around the time his Christmas list started taking longer than his mun's to construct.

Mostly for reaction, but if you want to receive your present in person tag in here.]

You won't catch the big chap with the white beard for long in the bar, or at least, he moves so quickly that you won't really have time to chat to him.

But he does pop in long enough to put a notice on the board.

'Dear patrons,

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. You will see that the elf dolls are leaving.

Keep up the good work, one more 'Nice Day' should be enough to see the rest off.

Peace and goodwill,

Father Christmas'

 T'was the night before Christmas, and down in the bar...

...Jim was too busy sorting out his own festivities to do more than spend five minutes showing appreciation for his nearest and dearest. Still, presents will appear for a favoured few, whenever they get around to picking them up.
( Tess, William, Eric, Hannibal, X, and YT )

The only person he's stumped on is Yrael, but oh well. He'll ask him what he wants next time he sees him. He suspects he knows what the answer will be.

That chore taken care of, he disappears back upstairs to get on with Christmas
