Logan returned from Wonka's Candy Shop just as the Christmas tree was delivered. Logan directed them to set it up in the living room.

He flopped down on the couch and turned on the TV to watch Scrooged while waiting for the decorations to be delivered.



[Open to house residents and friends. The professional decorators aren't going to show, so we'll have to improvise. And there's candy!]

Either string it all along with a needle to form a garland, tie the popcorn together with the string (no idea how we'll manage that).

Elizabeth returned from the kitchen carrying a large bowl of freshly popped popcorn.

"No eating it," she warned. "And, I know this is really stretching it here, do you guys have a sewing kit or anything?"

Barbossa grinned and ran, singing, up the stairs.

He returned with a sewing kit.

Parker stole a handful, then went back to cutting snowflakes.

Elizabeth stuck her tongue out at Parker, as she tried to thread the needle.

Parker stuck out her tongue back at her, without popcorn in her mouth, and watched her try to thread the needle, amused.

It only took a couple of tries, and she holds up the needle triumphantly, before starting to thread her first pieces of popcorn onto it.

He opened his mouth to say "Of course."

It came out as the third verse of "Jingle Bells."

He hoped this would wear off soon.

Elizabeth bit her lip, and looked down at the popcorn, trying not to giggle.

Barbossa rolled his eyes good-naturedly and then went off to make some coffee filter angels.

Angela grabs a handful of popcorn and a threaded needle. "Ow," she says, pricking herself as she tries to pull the needle through the first kernel.

"I can't believe people used to do this all the time."

Elizabeth grinned, as she continued threading her popcorn. "I know. When I was a kid, I used to sit with my grandmother whilst she did needlework," she said. "She did try to teach me, but not so successfully!"

"Same here," Angela says, concentrating on her work and hoping she doesn't jam her thumb again. "My mom sews, and she tried to teach me. Didn't work."

Elizabeth grins. "See, my mom taught me the dewey decimal system and the correct grammar rules," she laughs. "Which possibly says a lot about my family!

"My mom taught me..." Angela thinks as she hunts among the popcorn for the perfect piece. "Um, how to walk in heels. And how to run a business, but I am never going to use that."

She smiles. "Is your family around here?"

A slight shadow passes across Elizabeth's face. "My parents are in Connecticut," she says simply, turning to grab some more popcorn.

"Like Rory and the other Logan's families," Angela says, noticing the shadow buit not sure what's causing it. "My parents are outside Pittsburgh."

Elizabeth nods. "Yeah, I was born just outside Hartford, about twenty or thirty miles from where Rory used to live actually," she says. "I've never been to Pittsburgh. What's it like there?"

"Like anywhere," Angela shrugs. "I mean, there are some really nice things and some bad stuff. I live outside Pittsburgh in a totally boring suburb." She pauses. "I miss some people, though," she admits.

"I think it's the time of year, y'know? I mean, you guys are great, but..." she shrugs. "Not the same as Christmas with people you've known forever."

"No, I totally get what you mean," Elizabeth replies. "I've got three older brothers as well, so things like Thanksgiving and Christmas were always totally insane. And then the nieces and nephews came along, and, yeah..." She sighs.

Parker notices this, and gives Liz another chocolate-covered strawberry. She hadn't thought, before, that the Colorado crowd were probably missing people. A lot.

"I have one sister, and she's 12."
