Default 25 Holiday Toasts with Margaret Turov
Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!

Hi! I'm doing the Holiday Flavors ficlets challenge for my character Margaret, or Mamie, Turov.

Disclaimer: I thought up Margaret and her family but the Harry Potter characters and universe were created by J.K. Rowling. Any characters created by other RPers will be credited as they appear.

Mamie tapped the arm of her chair. Dinner was over, and there was no reason for them to be waiting any longer to exchange gifts. Her brothers agreed, so the three of them sat with varying levels of impatience while their parents continued to talk in the dining room.

“Babulya! Is it time?” Mamie’s oldest brother PJ called to their grandmother.
She appeared in the doorway with a mug. “Yes, it’s nearly time. Mamie, Alex, why don’t you sort out the presents?”

The eleven-year-old nearly leapt from the chair in her haste to get to the stack of presents. She and her brother Alex soon had six neat piles of gifts. “Pa!! Maaa! Hurry up,” Mamie insisted as she delivered gifts to her grandmother and then claimed her own.

Soon their parents joined, and wrapping materials flew in the air as gifts were opened.

A cry of dismay came from PJ, bringing the bustle of adoration and thank-yous to a halt.

“Coal?” PJ held up a bag of charcoal. “What did I do to deserve this?”

The family exchanged glances before all eyes settled on the suspiciously quiet sister. “What?” Mamie offered. “He asked for camping supplies.”
