"Please" He says "From the Wayburtons to you guys" At least three packages. "Careful with the big one. I think it's fine wines" A whisper

"Ooooh...Wow. Okay, I'll make sure that gets to the kitchen. Hey, can you stay for a bit, or do you have to rush home? I'm sure I saw a gift for you, and Mom's got baskets to go to all the local families."

"oh.. I got to drop off a gift for a friend.. miles to go before I sleep, but thanks. I don't mind PICKING up my gift though" A grin

"Okay...c'mon. Zane's here!" she announces to the room, and a chorus of "Zane!" responds.

She helps him leave his packages near the tree, and offers him a sip of her cocoa while she finds the gift for him.

He sips "Thanks guys. I got to drop off gifts elsewhere"

"Take yours!"

"I'm finding it for him!"

Sylvi finds and hands over to Zane a wrapped package that seems fairly book-shaped, maybe? Then she retrieves her cocoa with a grin as she also passes him a basket of baked goods from Kerri's kitchen, little mince pies especially, the kind with start-shaped top crusts.

He hands hte drink back, winks at her "tthanks.. " A nod "Merry Yule, all"

"Good to see you, Zane. Merry Yule."

"Good yule to you and your family, Zane," Brekke adds with a nod.

"thanks!" And he goes off

Dirk comes by with gifts from Anne Marie.

Frank and Brekke receive guests and gifts, ensuring that Kerri's delicious food gets a good sampling by all.

Dirk says "Oh wow. Thanks." taking a barrel of food back with him

Dagmar finds both guys have dropped off gifts for her

Dirk, unsurprisingly, got food (muffins)

Symon comes in after Dirk, and with a small sack on his back. Looking rather more Skellington than Santa, he never the less has a bag of gifts.

"Hey Sy!"

He grins over at her, and waves to everyone.

"Symon, how are ye?" Siv says

He ponders this, and gives her a bit of a smile. "Not bad."

"Ann Marie liked her present. I had to get out of there before we listened to round 4 of the same Christmas Jazz..."

But, he looks amused.

"You're safe for now. Folks are probably going to sing later, though."

"Sitting right here" Tove says lightly, eyes sparkling

"Well, I like when you sing."

"Can we get you some tea?" Siv offers

"First, presents."

"Presents!"

"Yep!" He looks around, checking to see who all is present....?

Lots or not lots depending if you want their players awake 🙂

Dagmar is antsy to give hers!

"Where are the kids?" A shrug, and he puts a square wrapped- okay, book shaped package on the mantle. He grins gummily as he notices Dagmar's eagerness, and turns next to... Siv!

She gets a lumpen wrapped package about a foot high and somewhat heavy.

Gerd seems to be gone as well

"Nyah!" Harrumph.

He grunts as he pulls out a package with Gerd's name - it's large and unweildy, and slid under the tree.

"Neat! thanks" Sivopens it

It is similar to this!

"I couldn't afford a real one, but it's a plaster and clay model. It's a tusked ammonite... ancient beast from forgotten seas. Like your boyfriend."

"Dagmar helped me with the base."

He admits.

Grunt ("No biggie")

Siv gift from Dagmar being, of course, a very kawaii plush narwhal.

"I did NOT help with that." Symon says with a smirk.

"Oh i's wonderful! "Siv says

Then she laughs at the plushie "You two are amazing

"
