ooc: backdated to christmas day
Though the house is alive with music and friends, and Martha hasn't been without a smile all day, she can't help but think about he who is spending Christmas alone. Probably with his piano and a fine bottle of scotch, she assumes. The holidays are a time for family, and in a way, she's become perhaps the only family he has.
Once the party has been launched, the refreshments served, and the guests happy and distracted, she manages to slip away under the guise of making an eggnog run, which everyone is in favor of. She knows that with the amount of eggnog and sugar that's already flowing, it'll be hours before anyone misses her.
When she shows up at the mansion's guest house, she is carrying her gifts in both hands and still wearing her red dress from the party, topped off with signature Santa hat Lois had given her in jest. Instead of the doorbell, Lionel might hear her singing the bridge of "We Three Kings of Orient" outside his door, albeit not particularly well. And when he does open the door, there's a good chance the hat has fallen over her eyes before she finishes the song, and an even better chance that, with the gifts in her hands, she is forced to leave it there.
