Islington Nest Christmas Party, Dec 17 [Open to all Nest members and their guests]

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline has worked hard to put together the evening's event, which is not only a Christmas party but also hopefully a chance for the Nest to celebrate its new leadership. The room at the Angelo has been decorated with a winter wonderland theme which, while not exactly original, is quite lovely.

A string quartet is playing a selection of Christmas and other classical music. Any attempts to feed on the musicians will result in the perpetrator getting thrown out the party, or worse. But feeding on any of the hired help or performers should be unnecessary, since several varieties of "blood punch" are available to drink. There is also food and other drinks available for non-vampire guests and anyone else who wishes to partake.

There is a strict black tie only dress code and Caroline will tell anyone who is under-dressed to go home and change.



[The event is happening on Dec 17th but I wanted to get it up early so everyone had time to do get involved if they so desired.]

"That sounds like an excellent plan." Caroline will figure out someway to make it blood tea. Somehow.

"So, what are your Christmas plans?" She is curious if Christmas is something she'll care about in centuries, or if it all just becomes noise. Hopefully it's like birthdays, which she plans to celebrate even when she's into the hundreds.

Put the tea in blood. Allow it to drain and dry. Then, use said tea to make tea.

Or, mix water and blood. Add honey, sugar or cream to taste.

"I'm not sure." Likely drinking alone, watching some favorite old movies. A Christmas Story never failed to make her happy. Same with Nightmare Before Christmas. She was also a fan of A Christmas Carol, having been acquainted with one Charles "Chucky D" Dickens.

"I'll probably watch Hallmark channel, eat Chinese and enjoy a fine Scotch." Any change of plans was welcome.

That sounds much more simple than anything Caroline has ever planned.

As for Evie's Christmas plans ... "Well, that's just about the saddest thing I've ever heard. So instead, we're going to do something. Don't worry, I'll plan everything. And it won't be as elaborate as all this."

Evie gives her an incredulous look. "I'll try not to be offended." Gosh, her plans were fine.

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline raises her eyebrows. "Any time spent watching the Hallmark channel is time you'll never get back. Even if you are a vampire."

Evie scowls. "I happen to like the terrible Christmas films."

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline sighs heavily. "Fine. I can include watching a terrible Christmas movie in the plans, so at least you aren't watching it alone."

"I'm quite partial to Die Hard, if it helps." They can all watch Die Hard, that's something they can agree to.

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline is of the opinion that Die Hard is not really a proper Christmas movie but she knows better than to make that argument now. "Die Hard it is," she says, beaming. "And maybe some blood tea. Or coffee. Or both."

[freelife]

"Great," she says. "I have no doubt you'll pull it all off remarkably."
