Finally spotting Sloane in the crowd of festival goers, María practically shoved some couple out of the way to make a beeline towards the other woman. Part of her was more than ready to rid herself of the gift in her hand and no longer have her evening revolve around the person she'd been burdened with giving a Secret Santa gift to. The other part of her was giddy with anticipation to see the other's reaction to the items she carefully picked out. "Oh my god, there you are! I've been looking all over for you." Her words came out in a singsongy way that could've easily been from her excitement or a way to jab at the other's annoying habit of breaking out into song like she lived in a musical. "You'll never guess who you were lucky enough to get as your Secret Santa shopper." María held up a glittering silver gift bag with snowflakes on it, but didn't hand it over just yet, wanting to take a moment to read Sloane's reaction to finding out who her Secret Santa was first.

“maybe  it's  silly,”  he  starts,  looking  at  the  table  in  front  of  him.  “being  twenty-six  and  making  an  ornament  …  but  i  think  my  brother  would  really  like  it.  HE'S  KIND  OF  SENTIMENTAL  LIKE  THAT.  he's  kept  every  ornament  i've  ever  made.  and  i'll  get  him,  like,  a  real  gift  after  this  …  it's  not  like  this  is  the  only  thing  he's  getting  !  are  you  going  to  make  one  ?”

Head tilted, Winter's eyes scanned the the numerous options before her, nose scrunched. Did she go with something classic? There was always apple or pear. Then again, something sweeter might hit the spot, and she always loved caramel. Finally, she turned to the person standing next to her. "What are you getting, do you think? Oh! Do you think they'll let me sample some?"

Lily skids to a stop in front of Winnie with a paper cup of something steaming in her hands and a look on her face like she’s already made at least one questionable decision. “Okay, first of all,” she says, holding the cup up between them, “this is either hot cider or hot cocoa and I forgot which one I ordered, so we’re starting the night with a trust exercise.” She takes a sip, immediately makes a face, then nods like she’s resolved something. “Cocoa. With a suspicious amount of nutmeg. Not mad about it.” Christmas lights glow off the snow-dusted booths behind her, music drifting from somewhere she can’t quite place. She bumps her shoulder into her as they start walking, casual and familiar. “I just watched a kid drop an entire funnel cake directly into a snowbank and his dad tried to convince him it was still edible. So that’s the energy tonight.” She tilts her head up at Winnie, grin sharp and affectionate. “We’re here to judge ornaments, avoid small talk, and absolutely not talk about our feelings unless absolutely necessary. If I buy something dumb, you’re legally required to stop me. Or enable me. Dealer’s choice.” Then, already tugging her toward the nearest booth, “Come on. I saw a knitted reindeer with googly eyes and I feel spiritually compelled.”

⚓ FESTIVE/EVENT STARTER CALL — @earlyblues ( maeve ) maeve's house

one thing for certain, two things for sure, maeve was neither holly, nor jolly. so when riley planned to invite his best friend to the christmas festival, like many other times before, there naturally needed to be a bribe in place. and that came in a form of a six pack of beer he holds in one arm, whilst his free hands adjusts the cheap santa hat he swiped from his sister to go along with the bit as he knocks at the door. as soon as maeve opens it, he beams, "merry fuckin' christmas. get ready, we're going to town." riley'd been dragging her to these town events ever since they were kids, and he didn't plan to stop now.

LOCATION: Cider Point Christmas Festival

This was Cillian's first time at Cider Point's festival.. and his first time at a Christmas Festival, if he was being honest. He’d always gotten out of them when the band was asked to play them… the memories of his parents hurting him a little more at this time of year than he would care to admit. But, it was the season of trying. And his new therapist and he had made a plan for him, so that he’d feel okay attempting this. He showed up, bundled in the thickest, softest sweater and coat he could find. He took a deep breath, his hands warming up around the hot chocolate he was holding. He could do this. He tried to find a friendly face, anyone he knew, to try and stumble his way through conversation, and like a miracle, his eyes settled on Brandon Murray. He walked up, not entirely confident, but sheepish all the same. “Bran, hey.” The Arsenal scarf was a nice touch, making Cillian a little bit pink, thinking about the way Bran used to look on the pitch, decked out, playing hard.

Nora had seen Jasper around in the library, but she couldn't say she really knew them. Though, thinking about it, with how much she keeps to herself, her chances of picking someone she knew were slim enough, let alone anyone she knew well. She should be grateful she can even pinpoint him at the festival and doesn't have to stand around with a sign like she's welcoming them off a plane. "Jasper, hi. Um... Surprise!" She nervously holds out the bag, inside a collectors edition of The Little Prince and a mug, a fox hand-painted on the outside enclosed in a neat box with a hot chocolate gift set. "I'm your Secret Santa."
