Fourteen Sickles

[He's humming a little bit as he puts the finishing touches on his fir tree. He's got to decorate for New Year's, doncha know? The horrible, agonizing pain ended a little while ago, and to celebrate this he's opened up his bottle of birthday vodka. The best gift is one you give yourself, sometimes.]

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four....

[He counts ornaments and lights as he strings them up. The whole house smells of vodka, but also of fresh, warm bread and not entirely burned yet meat. It smells like...almost like home. Lithuania probably has something to do with this. He always does, don't you know?]

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four....

[Winter's here, and so Russia's lit a fire to try and keep him out. It won't work. Not forever. But he's going to try, at least until it's next year. At least until tomorrow. It's still cold in his home, almost unnaturally so, and that's very familiar. It'd be strange if things were warm, don't you know?]

One, two, three, four....

[But it's warm, almost, because of the food and fire and coats and scarves.]

((OOC: *EVERYONE* in Template gets a bottle of vodka for New Year's. Yes, that's right, I said New Year's. Lithuania gets a bonus gift, though, as does Skeith. This is also pulling double duty as a belated birthday post!))
