First floor lobby, all day

Sometime either in the middle of the night or very early in the morning, a large, beautiful, undecorated Christmas tree ended up in the first floor lobby of the dorms. No idea how it got there, but it's not the weirdest thing to happen in Fandom. Neither is the fact that there are also boxes and boxes of completely moddable decorations lying out. Ornaments, garland, tinsel, it's all there. Also not weird is the fact that someone set up a little table with apple cider, hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies. And a little CD player with Christmas music CD's beside it.

The fact that someone stuck a big red bow on the alien fish tank? Okay, that's a little odd.

Really, the tree is lonely without decoration and people should really fix that.

[Welcome to the dorms' tree-trimming party! Post is open all day so no one misses out ICly or hopefully OOCly. Just try to state when your character is there if you can, just so no wonky timeline issues happen if someone's not around in the morning but pings someone who is. First floor lobby means teachers can join in, so have at it.
OCD is coming up!]

Mac stopped as she passed through the lobby. As you would when you come down one morning and there's suddenly a huge tree in the hall where there wasn't one before.

Plus? Fairy lights to put up. She likes the idea of the fairy lights.

Cally arrived shortly after her traumatic traumatic visit with Mr. Bristow.

"Hi," she said.

Pippi arrived in the late morning/early afternoon after taking a trip into town.

Ohhh! Maybe she'd get to hide the pickel (http://german.about.com/library/blgermyth11.htm)!

Jude, the remnants of a pancake onna stick in his mouth, hobbled down the stairs around noon, beaming mellowly at the sight of the tree. "Awwwwesome," was his verdict, and he immediately went to play in the sparklies.

Isabel was on her way to the Perk when she saw the tree. Coffee was forgotten as she snagged a cider and a cookie and contemplated a decorating scheme.

Aeryn hadn't really been planning to stay, but she can't resist. Mostly out of curiosity that she missed something, really. "Interesting show yesterday," she greets her.

After coming back from her shift at the clinic, Alanna ran into a tree. And stared.

Aeryn had been going to go to the gym. When she sees that there are festivities, though, she takes a quick second to see whether she can get through it all, and then debates just going back upstairs.

Pippi has just two ornaments shaped like a Pickle and a bird's nest (http://www.xmasdays.com/orns.html) in either (http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/488640.html?cm_id=2610.060) hand (http://www.catholicsupply.com/christmas/_borders/12463.jpg). And she's looking for just the perfect spot to nestle them into.

Peter was thrilled when he saw the tree in the lobby coming back in from his morning run. He dashed upstairs to change and came back to help with the decorations.

He rummaged through the boxes, looking for good ones.

This is much closer to Isabel's idea of Christmas fun. She's firmly repressing her part in yesterday's insanity as she hung a variety of simple, colored glass balls on the tree.

Setsuna watched for a bit at the decorating of the fir in the lobby, head tilted slightly as she also observed the actual decorations, and starts picking out a few of her favourites among the group. A lot of them had wings.

Towards the end of the night, Jaye comes back in through the lobby, and sees the tree.

And then she reaches into her pocket, pulls out a random piece of triangular felt (yes, she carries these around) with equally random bits of glitter on it, and sticks it on the tree.

And then goes back to her room, satisfied.

Sometime in the late afternoon, El came by carrying his guitar case and set up shop near the CD player.

If live music is more your speed, he takes request. And knows a lot of catchy holiday music from the US and Mexico.

What with his foot in plaster, Shawn isn't exactly in the right state to be tree decorating himself. He is however quite happy to sit on the couch, eat cookies and watch everyone else get tangled up in the tinsel.
