Deck The Halls (open for others for mistletoe meme)
Cait loved the holidays whether it was Saturnalia or Christmas. Both meant decorating and a lot of great food. Today was the start of decorating the mansion. Boxes upon boxes of decorations had been hauled out of storage and placed in the rec room. Thankfully Aunt Jean was a little anal retentive about labeling everything and putting everything back where it was supposed to go, so it saved having to dig through the boxes to find anything.

Cait opened a box and found a sprig, fake of course, of mistletoe laying on the top. Looks like that was going to be the first thing to be put up. She hanged it in the doorway of the rec room that led to the hallway. It was one of the most used doors in the mansion.

	"It is a couple weeks away," Fred said, not really understanding this 'holiday mood' people seemed to be in lately. "It seems..premature." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, it's a few weeks away, but it's nice to see decorations and with all that's happened lately we could all use some holiday cheer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I suppose. I do not really do 'cheery', though Sasha tri..." He stopped suddenly. He still missed her deeply. When it was clear she had to return overseas..it hurt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay," Cait said and put a hand on his shoulder. "This time of the year can be difficult." She leaned in and kissed his cheek. "That's for the mistletoe you're standing under." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's surprised at first but then looks up, confirming what Cait said. "Ah..I thought I smelled something off. ..thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're not alone," Cait said. "And you don't have to go through this alone. Please remember that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred seems to think on this for a moment before responding. "I appreciate that, Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-10 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. "Now you can help with some decorations. The tree is in woeful need of decorations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...you want me to what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-10 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	"You heard me. Help me decorate the tree," Cait said with an impish grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-10 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	"And just like that the bonding has departed. Very well, what am I doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are going to help me hang decorations on the tree," she said and handed him some ornaments with hooks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-11 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Fred will look at the ornaments with some confusion before he starts putting them on the tree. It's quickly made clear Fred has no sense of pattern as he's just hanging them up randomly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-11 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	Cait would be on the other side of the tree doing the same thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-11 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	"So..what is the point of this exercise again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-11 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Decorating the tree," she said. "That's it. Nothing else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-12 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"..is it supposed to be therapeutic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-12 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"I guess it could be, but it's supposed to be fun. You just put ornaments on the tree. Don't think about it or where they go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-12 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"I see. ..still seems a curious pastime to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-12 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"It's not really a pastime, but more of a once a year thing to do." Cait shrugged. "Besides, it's better than doing the normal chores around here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-12 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Fred doesn't comment that that at least would be doing something productive. He's certain Sasha would have scolded him for such thoughts. Sylvie likely would too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-12 12:48 am UTC (link)
	Cait hummed happily while she decorated the tree. She looked over at Fred every once in awhile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-12-12 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Fred notes this. "Did you have a question, Cait?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-12 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"Nope," she said and smiled at him. "Just doing some decorating." (Reply to this)(Parent)
