[ five men-slash-monsters in one house with precious few reasons to celebrate anything over the past year are going to do their absolute damnedest for Christmas. the Martins politely suggest a bit of their own family traditions - the feasting, Wigilia, and celebrating on Christmas Eve as per Polish custom - which was met with enthusiasm. two Christmases, why the fuck not?
Martins are cooking pierogies, mushroom soup, sauerkraut, fish, cabbage rolls, with gingerbread and kutia and poppyseed cake baking in the background...and actually having a good time with each other despite recent tragedy. "Algric, is the oplatek ready?" and other preparation banter can be heard amidst the commotion.
Tim has been assigned an easy job; watching over and occasionally stirring the mulled wine, with all manner of spices and orange slices and even a few secret things that the Martins refuse to disclose. this decision of wine keeper cannot possibly go badly.
the Jons are welcome to finish decorating or contribute to a happily noisy, crowded kitchen and help where they can. ]
