Decking the Halls and All That Jazz

[http://users.livejournal.com/_kip_/]

The Justice League Watchtower has a highly sophisticated comm system that can send messages to individuals, to separate rooms, to separate floors or to the whole place. Right now, the entire system is activated. An emergency? Not quite. There is holiday music being played, from Vince Guaraldi to Nat King Cole to Ella Fitzgerald, classics all. And in the dining hall, a towering spruce tree has been erected. Atop a ladder, a young man sings along with the music as he carefully feels his way along the tree to hang lights. His usual attire of slacks and a neatly pressed shirt has been exchanged for jeans and a sweater with a red-nosed reindeer knitted into the fabric. Looks handmade, too.

Across a table near the front are at least eight pies of different sorts: fruit, chocolate, pumpkin, chess. Homemade, from the looks of it. A basket nearby seems to be brimming with cookies, too, and beside that basket are a few hot beverage dispensers labeled cocoa and mulled cider.

Someone is bringing the holiday spirit to the Watchtower.

"I'll be sure to pass that on to my aunt," Kip says happily. "I think Kermit has the right idea, though: bakeoff between Aunt Justine and Ma Hunkle has all the makings of awesome, you know? Plus about an extra ten pounds on my fat backside."

"And mine. Oof. But damn, so much tastiness, I'd do the extra workouts to survive that dinner."

Jennie pats her stomach and grins widely.

Courtney takes a sip of her punch. "We could be work-out buddies," she gives Jennie a grin.

ambles up to Courtney and pushes a present into her hands.

Being a bit clueless about what she'd want, Guy opted to let Tora pick out a tasteful silver charm bracelet that already has reindeer and snowman charms attached.

Smiling, Courtney takes the present from the chimp, opening it eagerly.

"It's beautiful," she reaches down to pat the chimp on its head, "Tell Mr. Gardner I said thank you, okay?"

ambles up to Jade and pushes a present into her hands.

The angora sweater inside the package is a result of Tora's good taste, heading off Guy's original idea of gifting Jade with an alien set of 'bikini-mail'.
