Gift Giving {Backdated to the 25th}
On Christmas day, in certain hotel rooms, a sparkle of gold announced the arrival of brightly wrapped--and sometimes oddly-shaped--packages* and a note stating who they are from.
Winifred and Hrothbert had enjoyed perusing the local shops in a sort of treasure hunt for things their friends and loved ones would like.
And, in some cases, they had added their own handiwork.
Well satisfied and confident that each gift had made its way to its prospective owner, they retired to enjoy their first 'Cristes Maesse' (and belated Winter Solstice) together in a very long time....
[*Excluding Aphrodite's gift as the "wrapping" is actually the NPC
volunteers. **(see gift)I hope this is ok. I didn't see anyone post going to
the hot tub on that day. If she chooses to go, it'll be lit by
candlelight only and filled (the room) with pink roses.
Also, Harry and Riddick's presents will be given in separate threads.
And last, but not least, the inclusion of Hrothbert (Bob) in this post
is with his mun's permission.]
Aphrodite will find two dizzyingly handsome, and soon to be minimally dressed, volunteers (NPC's) at the door to her temple. One carrying several gifts (bubble bath kit, robe and slippers). The other ready to take her arm and escort her to the hotel hot tub--Winifred and Hrothbert having reserved it just for her for the day.**
Carlos will find an AeroGarden Deluxe.
Faramir will find a basket of fruit, cheese, meat, jelly and candies
John Marcone will find an Xbox 360 and a Guitar Hero: World Tour-Bundle.
Menolly and Regulus will find a set of Welsh instruments: pibgorn, crwth and triple harp. Along with a book of Welsh folk songs.
Molly will find a large champagne and chocolate gift basket and an extra note, from Bob, promising to teach her an offensive spell that he wrote/included in his first grimoire.
Murphy will find a set of Irish lace curtains and a crystal bud vase.
Shasta and Bree will find (hotel room and stables respectively) a Wii console with Star Wars game and lightsaber controller. For Bree a new horse blanket and set of hardcover books on various subjects--romances to mysteries.
Trance will find a CD and a DVD set along with a gift basket including champagne and truffles.
Willow will find an encyclopedia on magical herbs and a handwritten parchment of Winifred's favorite spells and herb lore. These both will be nestled in a basket of Chanukah treats.
