Getting ready for Christmas list

[alt_luna]

Cut some holly. I found a lovely bit of it this year in the woods, with many berries. It will look nice over the fireplace and door.
Hang the mistletoe.
Pull out the ornaments, if I can find the boxes. I think they're buried under the back issues of the Quibbler in the second bedroom upstairs. Father's been a bit preocupied with getting the next issue out. (We don't have a Christmas tree because there's not quite enough room in our big room with the printing press. Instead, we hang the ornaments right on the press.)
Paint stencils of snowflakes on the kitchen cupboards. I'm ready for a change.
Finish making gifts.
Find the Christmas cloth for wrapping gifts.
Cut paper snowflakes for the windows.
Make suet seed balls to hang on the trees outside for the birds. They deserve Christmas, too.


Oh, and clean the kitchen and dust. Father's not been thinking much about housekeeping since I left for school.

Oh, my. I know your father, but I hadn't thought...oh, dear, Luna, what a sight must have met your eye when your father brought you home from the station.

Why don't I come over this morning for a couple hours, dear? I can help you get things cleaned up a bit.

That would be lovely, Mrs Weasley. I can give you your gifts to take home then.

I've made some gingerbread. I'll bring that with me.
