He was going to be staying over Christmas at school so he figured he'd bring and share his christmas spirit with the students and those of his colleagues that was staying for the holiday.
Beaming broadly at the students and Paul that were already checking out the ingredients and equipment he said "Merry Christmas everyone!" Grabbing an apron, he pulled it over his head and tied a knot in the back before he asked around "Does anyone want to help me make a batch of gingerbread men and decorate them with frosting?"

There were already a few faces here, and Beatrice smiled warmly at them all. "Hello Noelle, how are you dear? Hello Paul! How are you? Olympia, Hady, how are you both? Ahh Leo, how are you?" GAH! Was it possible for someone to be so happy and bouncy over Christmas baking?
Yes. Yes it was.
Beatrice re-positioned the sparkling red Santa hat on her head, short white waves poking out. She brought her own apron, one shaped like a Christmas tree, and fastened it over her clothes.
Now Leo was going to be baking some gingerbread men! "That sounds delicious," she said, setting up a few spots down from him. Perhaps she would start something else, so as to help some of the younger students. Looking at the recipe,she saw the recipe to Christmas shortbread and saw most of the ingredients there already.
Paul spotted Leo. His librarian pal! He didn't know why, but he enjoyed the younger man's company so much. What a kind soul he was...much like himself. Perhaps he enjoyed how gentle Leo was...it was hard to find a patient man like him these days.
"I'll help you--" he smiled and moved to sit by Leo, when Beatrice greeted him! The white-haired man nodded at the woman.
"Hello there, Beatrice--looking very dapper tonight--you could help me and Leo if you wanted!" he said, seeing as he didn't think Leo would mind.
He stood next to Leo and tried to remember how in the world to make gingerbread cookie cough...hmph. Where were the elves? He maybe needed assistance! Paulina, Ava, Marsha, and Olympia were all here as well, now, and he smiled at all of them. Where were all the male students?! Were none of them MAN enough to bake? Hehe, Paul found this funny.
