So who else had an awesome Christmas? I had a pretty serious haul. I can't wait to get back on the pitch and try out my new gear.

Muggle Christmas is so cute. Did you know they have something called fairy lights but they're not actually fairies? They don't even look like 'em.

Aren't you cheery.

[ladyliberty]

Who isn't?

[knifed]

I can think of a few people.

[ladyliberty]

Well they should cheer up! This year is looking awesome.

[knifed]

It does look better than last year, I will agree.

[faintwaves]

Well...it's not like the Muggles know the difference, right?

[ladyliberty]

Well they must've had a reason for calling 'em that in the first place, right?

[faintwaves]

I mean...well! Of course they had to think they looked like fairies in the first place so it's not their fault if they don't know that fairy lights don't ACTUALLY look like fairies and---

[ladyliberty]

Then they've got really weird ideas on what fairies look like.

[faintwaves]

I...want to correct my parents sometimes, but it's not like I can bring actual fairies home to decorate our house.

[nunganunga_k_o]

Mum got me a fab new bra.

And of course. No one wants lights that natter on when they're supposed to be being all twinkly.

[ladyliberty]

Is it super cute?

You'd think they'd call 'em something else though, like little tubey lights, or something.

[nunganunga_k_o]

YES. It is all purpley with lacey bits around the edge. She got it for extra firm control so I don't knock myself out with my nungas every time I fly about the pitch. Which I think is quite advantageous myself.

Little tubey lights doesn't sound full of Chrimbo cheer and spiritosity.

[ladyliberty]

It sounds so cute! Does it really work? All my quiddy bras are so boring.

What do fairies have to do with Christmas anyway?

[nunganunga_k_o]

I gave it a little shake to test the jiggle factor, but then my whole family decided to pop into my bedroom so I had to pretend I was doing a dance. No telling if it will stand up to Quidditch as of yet.

They have sparklosity. And look a bit like coloured snowflakes, if you shut them up and don't stand too close.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Didja like the book?

[ladyliberty]

It was awesome! But kinda spooky too!

[thisonetime_withkeith]

yeah! zombies are pretty scary! its so freaky to think they could just... yknow! take over the world and stuff!

ya definitely gotta be prepared.

[ladyliberty]

Well now I will be!

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Oh yeah!

You should definitely memorize like... almost everything! Especially the weapons section!

[lookupforme]

I think in the right mindset, they can be mistaken for fairies. Maybe if you squint real hard.

[ladyliberty]

Maybe if you've had too much egg nog.

[lookupforme]

Oh, yeah. Wow, that's probably how they got the name.

But they can be really pretty, like when they blink.

[ladyliberty]

Oh yeah, I like 'em tons better than real fairy lights. At least they don't talk.

[lookupforme]

Or bite.

Do you think you're going to alter your gear at all?
