Merry Christmas, Maria! Lots of love, your Secret Santa.

And as he held her, his arms tightening as he buried his face in her silken hair, he trembled slightly at the idea of ever having to let her go. Of losing her. Gods, he couldn't...he couldn't function, he couldn't breathe at the idea of having his Lily disappear on him. And it was selfish, and the worst fucking timing, but he couldn't help it.

Happy Christmas!!

Listen here.

[This is an eclectic collection of songs that reflect both mun and muse as they made me think of each in different ways. You are indeed a beautiful soul Lily, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful Christmas!!]

//Oh, you are so much too kind to me!  This is all so wonderful!  I love love love it!  You deserve the best holidays, Alex!  But this is so great… oh gosh, I don’t even know what to say!  Thank you so much!  <3

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Someone has been a VERY good girl this year and there are MORE presents on the way, but this one just wouldn’t fit in my bag of presents so I had to drop it off early. Enjoy!

A Fashion Designer’s Pride and Joy

Madam Malkin watched as her last customer trundled from the store and smiled happily, patting at her mauve robes for her glasses. She checked the clock, it was definitely time. With a wave of her wand, the store closed itself, robes hopping back onto their hangers, and boots shuffling back into their boxes. When everything was in order, she turned to bustle into the back of the store, slipping past a curtain of clacking beads into her sewing room.

This was where all of her creations came to life.

She loved it here, and she never wanted for work. In the back sat a large desk with dozens of half finished sketches that she periodically pulled out to finish. Tonight she was in the mood to work on those, so she fixed herself a cup of hot tea and humming softly under her breath, slipped over to settle in the plush little chair, tugging a large portfolio forward.

She’d clothed many a fine lord and lady over the years. Her current favorite was one Narcissa Malfoy. The pureblood beauty was a fashion designer’s dream. Tall and slender with just the right amount of curve, beautiful skin and fair headed—oh yes, there was no one right now she loved to entice into her shop more than the current Mrs. Malfoy (though her mother was equally beautiful and fun to design for).

Flipping to the page of gowns and dresses she’d been compiling, some that Narcissa had already worn and some that she’d yet to put needle and thread too, but all of them singular she sighed wistfully. Tracing her finger over the drawn folds of several gowns, she wondered what it would be like to wear such finery. She would love to have been the one to wear them, but alas it seemed fate had other plans for her.  She was always pleased to know that someone got to wear them, and it was even more exciting when Mrs. Malfoy ended up in the Daily Prophet wearing one.

It was good for business, and never failed to fill her imagination with midnight parties, laughter, and of course romantic ruminations over the handsome Lucius Malfoy. He had his own page too, and some day soon she’d get to add a young Malfoy to her book. Some people collected coins. She collected wardrobe drawings for some of the wizarding world’s most prominent families.

Shaking her head at her own thoughts, she grabbed up a pencil and pulled out a new piece of paper. She’d had another idea while she’d been fitting the last customer and she wanted to get it down before it disappeared…

Secret Santa

Mrs Weasley

I do not think we have met and this makes getting a good gift difficult. I hope that you are liking the glass flower despite this. The meaning of pink roses is friendship and that is what Christmas is about I am thinking.

Best Christmas wishes

~Igor Karkaroff

Mr. Karkaroff,

You're right: it is difficult to give good gifts when  you don't really know who you're giving them to, but you did very well with yours.  The flower is absolutely beautiful.  I'm going to try and find a safe place in the house where the boys might not be able to get to it.  It's far to pretty to have them break it.  

Friendship is what Christmas is all about.  Also peace on earth and the good that can be found in humanity.  Even though we haven't met, I wish you a very Happy Christmas and a good New Year.  Everyone deserves that.

Molly Weasley

PS: the pies are a tradition around here.  You don't have to eat them, but it's nice to spread the holiday cheer.

Alright...

Whoever the coward is who hasn't come forward with my Secret Santa, I hope you feel superior, because no-one else will think you are.

....

Unless it was a gift for the dogs, in which case... thank you. I fucking hate Christmas

Can we end the guessing game now?

I honestly have no clue who gave me the reindeer. Must be someone with a great sense of humour, though.
