Happy Hallowe'en, for those of us who celebrate it.

A few general holiday announcements:

1) Are there ideas for Christmas? Last year was a free-for-all but perhaps a tame party may be nice. We could have Adam dress as Father Christmas. (You know the beard would suit him so well *coughDumbledore-in-trainingcough*) We could also do a Twelve Days of Christmas sort of thing. Booze and music and shinies?

2) Two words: Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday/Pancake Tuesday/Downhill Tuesday. Shall we adopt it the New Orleans style? Beads, masquerade, drunken orgies? Or just have pancakes and other sweets? Both? Neither?

3) Which leads into my next point: What about a challenge for the forty days of Lent (begins day after Mardi Gras - offically called Ash Wednesday for those who get marked in crosses of ashes on their foreheads) where no character is shown eating? So, characters would be eating behind the curtains but it would not be mentioned or done in threads at all. Necessity is the mother of invention (I'm going to have to find something for Azi to do rather than just give tea to everyone, oh dear).


Hallowe'en: Who went trick-or-treating? Who had costumes? What did you go as and do you have pics? :D

Sirius wants to know if you plan to celebrate Lupercalia in the way that involves lashing and sacrificing dogs, or the way that involves shagging. And he is telling me to let you know that if it's the later, he thinks it's a fantastic idea, although it needn't be a big to-do. A small, informal observance with friends might be nice, he suggests.

He just thought you should know. He also supports mistletoe. And...isn't exactly sure why you thought advent wreaths would hold special significance to him? I must admit, I share his confusion.

And I demand a New Year's party. Demand it.
