Gaston always loved Christmas! Well, maybe not so much the parties - crowds of people made him nervous! - but the food, the decorations, the gift-giving, just the general festive atmosphere this time of year. Christmas in the Marchand household was always a fairly quiet affair... his father waking everyone up early to open presents, his mother force feeding everyone second and third helpings of dinner. He shook his head, trying to force the thought out of his mind. He was getting homesick!

The dark-haired Frenchman entered the Great Hall, levitating a stack of boxes in front of him. Inside were various supplies for making ornaments: glass balls and wooden stars, bells, wreaths, and reindeer for painting; beads and pipe cleaners to make candy canes; clothespins to make into little santa and snowman dolls; sheets of colored paper and various colors of paint and glitter. The hand that wasn't aiming his wand held a large red sack slung over his shoulder. It was only when he set his load down that he saw Cynthia, Justin, Kay, and River already here. Merlin's beard! He wasn't late, was he? No, he didn't see any students here yet. "Hello, everyone," he greeted them; he reached into the sack and handed each of his collegues a chocolate frog. "Merry Christmas!"

He laughed as he saw Roscoe and Bumi with their carts and gave the dogs a quick pat on the head. "I thought reindeer were supposed to pull Santa's sled!" he said jokingly to River, and he nodded in reply to the healer's question. "That sounds like a great idea!" It was only then that he got a good look at the room. It looked nice, but he thought it needed ice sculptures. Those had always been his favorite thing at the Beaubatons Christmas parties. He waved his wand, and four icy reindeer appeared on the house tables, and for the staff dais - Santa in his sleigh! There, now it was perfect!
