[ic] Birthday Dinner, backdated to December 21st.

[goodwillrising]

[We have food, friends, and widely divergent timezones. Ergo, this birthday dinner is open for always. I imagine the food's been brought over from the Mess Hall and that a party atmosphere prevails. The living room of Toya and Yukito's house is probably a little crowded, but that just adds atmosphere. Enjoy!]

You even managed liver and onions.

Is there pizza?

[goodwillrising]

I think so ... but you'd better get in fast before.

[macnotpc]

[...so there, getting pizza] Do you want some? I could get you a slice.

[goodwillrising]

Thanks, Mac, but I'm sticking to the liver for starters.

Only four days till Christmas.

[macnotpc]

Okay.

Uh-huh! Actually, I made you something, but I guess you can have it early for your birthday. [hands over card and christmas ornament shaped like a star with glitter on it]

[goodwillrising]

Thanks Mac -- its just like the ones we have on our tree back home.

[macnotpc]

You're welcome. Really? Do you get to help decorate it?

[goodwillrising]

We all do. Christmas Eve, Dad puts the tree up, and Mary and Barbara make paper chains, and the rest of us do the decorating.

[macnotpc]

That sounds like fun! I get to help decorate the one at home and the tree at Foster's.

[goodwillrising]

Two trees? Does that mean you have two Christmas celebrations?

[macnotpc]

That's right, with my family and with my friends. It's really fun.

[goodwillrising]

How many Christmases are you going to have here, Mac?

[macnotpc]

I think I'm just going to have one, unless we have one for the cabin and one with everyone else. Having one Christmas all together with everyone in camp would be a lot more fun.

[goodwillrising]

Oh, it would! But that's a lot of people ... still, if more really is merrier ...

[macnotpc]

It is! Foster's has about a hundred friends and it's a lot of fun when we all get together for Christmas. We won't be able to get everyone together in camp, but whoever wants to share it with a lot of people can.

[goodwillrising]

A hundred? Wow. Do you ever lose your voice from saying Merry Christmas to everyone?

That sounds like a lot of fun.
