Looks like the Animus got bored of the majority rule. How do all of you celebrate the holidays in your world? And, on top of that, if you find any weird plants or decorations anywhere, don't throw 'em out -- I could use those.

And Morgan, we've gotta go chop down a tree to put in the den.

Usually tried to spend it avoiding my family. At least, until I ran away.

[And he says that so pleasantly.]

Also that last Christmas before I left, I believe Mum beheaded one of our older house-elves. Didn't quite make the Christmas dinner during the family gathering to her liking, if I'm remembering correctly.

[Out of all of that, the only part that makes Jo blink is -- ]

What the hell's a house elf?

[siriuslymagical]

They're servants to wizard families. The Blacks have had a lot of them over the years and whenever they outlive their usefulness, Mum would behead them and mount them on the wall.

[He says it very casually.]

[ . . . ]

... what about just letting them retire?

You need a bit more flannel in your wardrobe for tree-chopping.

Sam and Dean have the market on that. I'd hate to make it look good.

[Hello, British angel. Long time no hear.]

I'm sure you'll carry it off better than either of those apes.

[knifetotheface]

They're stupid, but they're not apes.

[Sam and Dean are family, Bal, shut up. 8|]

Balthazar, right? I'm Jo. Apocalypse kicked my ass before I could grace myself with your presence, but I met you the last time you were here.

[effyourcupcake]

I guess Christmas is right around the corner, right?

[knifetotheface]

You know it. December 25th.

[effyourcupcake]

That's going to blow.

[knifetotheface]

Only if you let it.

I'm fully intending on getting trashed and setting up a damn tree.

[That's what hunters do, man.]

[ She looks so doubtful. ]

A tree? And what are all of these colorful things?

[knifetotheface]

It's almost Christmas. We need a tree.

And they're celebration pieces for every holiday but Christmas.

[medicatus]

A winter festival of a sort?

[knifetotheface]

Exactly.

[freezingkiss]

Would you like some help?

[knifetotheface]

Sure! Why not?

Do you need a tree for your place?

[freezingkiss]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I think Usagi and the others might have already got one... But I'd like to help you out anyway! ...Somehow. I could help carry the trees!

[knifetotheface]

[ -- oh, hang on.]

You're one of the girls in skirts, right?

The ones that live with Cas?
