It's a slightly chilly day out, so Mel's wearing a sweater. Idly, she wonders if John's planning on making it snow. After a second, she knocks.

Sarah invited her over. She shouldn't be nervous, dammit.

Sarah opens the door. She has on an apron, the same one from Thanksgiving, and she's got a smudge of flour on her face. But like the last time Mel saw her, she looks happy and relaxed. This is her time of year to shine.

"Hey, come on in." She ushers Mel inside and leads her to the kitchen. There a couple of trays of gingerbread men and women (the women have skirts) cooling on racks. "That's a pretty sweater. Do you want an apron, too?"

Even before she's ushered in, she can smell the cookies. She looks around at the gingerbread men and women and smiles a little.

"Thanks. And sure." She fidgets a little.

Sarah opens a drawer that has a few folded aprons inside. Most are floral, like hers. One is white and says 'Kiss the Cook' (she bought it for Daniel). "Help yourself, dear. These are almost cool enough to decorate." She opens another drawer and takes out some decorating tubes of frosting. "Done any Christmas shopping yet? I'm almost done with my list."

Mel pulls out a floral one, with little roses on it. Fumbling with it, she tries to get it on. "A little bit. I've gotten stuff for Rat and Schreber and for some other people..." She eyes the tubes of coloring. Watch Mel not want to talk about Gibbs until Sarah brings him up.
