Community Event 3: Happy Holidays!
Okay, okay, she got volunteers this time. She kind of had to in order to get the lights, tinsel, and various decorations up and around the room. Yes, that massive tree and all the ornaments were not possible to get up by the small dog alone. Not only that, but she asked everyone in Future Foundation, Hope's Army, and other friends to contribute an ornament to this tree.
"It looks great! Now, get that table over there! Oh, make sure the presents are under the tree... not that under! That table goes next to the tree for the Secret Santa gifts. Perfect!"
Bells jingling, she walked over to inspect the food. Looked great with turkey with stuffing, ham, and cinnamon baked apples, but she encouraged people to bring food from home too. For her, she paused at the fruitcake, tail wagging. This was her contribution after learning humans didn't like fruitcake for some reason; she was determined to make one everyone would like. Drinks of coffee, hot chocolate, non-alcoholic cider, and eggnog, she was going to keep this family-friendly... mostly. Again, she tried to accommodate for everyone.
Music? Check. Tables? Check. Laptop to contact Kalos? Check check. Looking up and at several areas in the room, mistletoe was a check. With a smile and nod, she hopped over to the doors and opened them.
"Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy yourselves!"
[OOC: As said, have fun! Gonna post a few optional thread, but feel free to make your own.]

Merry Christmas! [He has no idea how this holiday works, but he's at least going to get the greeting right.] Isabelle did most of the work. I helped with reaching the high spots.
[He points to the giant Christmas tree. There's not way a tiny person could put all those ornaments near the top.]

I'm not surprised -- in fact, I'm more surprised that you managed to get any help in edgeways. Isabelle's a one-dog organizational machine. Ah, here it is...
[ she straightens up, pulling out a soft, floppy gift, holding it out for Duster to take. When he opens it up, he'll find a cozy brown sweater vest inside. ]
Here's yours.

Honestly, this is one of the best clothes I ever got. [It certainly different from Tsukiyama's handwork, and it's definitely a color Duster doesn't wear often.] I'll have to find a shirt I can wear this with.
[He's not too great at folding clothes, but there is an attempt. The vest is technically folded correctly, but it's sloppy and one of the arm holes sticks out.]
Thanks. And before I forget... [He reaches into his bag and pulls out a jar of honey.] I brought this from Tazmily. Bears really like this where I'm from.

[ also it was kind of a Dad Sweater and you're the daddest person she knows
that she didn't killher eyes light up at the jar of honey and when she takes it from him, her smile gets a little nostalgic. Honey always makes her think of Lulu, now -- and it stings a little but here, surrounded by goodwill and family, it's dull enough to be more sweet than bitter. ]
... thank you. I've been... thinking about getting some honey lately, you know. So it's good timing.

It's always good to have more clothes. [Tazmily is a warm village, but a vest would be good if he was traveling with the DCMC and he needed civilian clothes. Kumatora had been bugging him to wear something different so that hardcore fans wouldn't recognize him in his blue shirt and bright red pants.]
Do bears eat a lot of honey, or is it more like a dessert to them? I never really figured it out on my own.
