Yasmin's Pre-Winterfest on December 15th 8pm to 11pm EST in the Southern Glen

The snow ball war grounds will have loads of pre-made snow balls as well as snow mounds and small snow igloos for duck-and-cover fun. Watch your head because an occasional stray snowball may wander over into the crowd, accidentally, I'm sure.

The ice bowling lanes will feature rows of ice sheets with large heavy snowballs you can throw down the ice to knock over the icicle stalagmites. Once your icicles are knocked down, the next set will instantly shoot up out of the ground, so watch your step by the bowling lanes.

Fiona O'Neill will also have up an informational recruitment booth. Bristle Crios coven is growing fast, now with over 20 members. Learn more about the coven and take an information sheet on how to join Bristle Crios from Fiona's booth. Nikia O'Neill will have a booth with her incredible desserts. There will also be a bar with hot drinks to warm you up after getting pelted with snowballs.

If you would like to help me for the Winterfest Pre-Event, please PM me or ask me in the Inn.

BEVERAGE BOOTH

The Beverage Booth is a large circular stand that the bartenders can take orders all around. It is made from dark mahogany wood, decorated with warm glowing paper lanterns and cream ribbons and bows. There are a few matching tables and chairs scattered around the booth. The smells of warm cider, cinnamon, and creamy eggnog fill the glen around it.

There are a few Bristle Crios students acting as servers for the evening with trays of various flavors of eggnog, hot and iced coffee, wine, hot chocolate, and apple cider. The Vampire House insisted that they provide a few bottles of their house wines to sate the palate of some of the more picky guests of the night. The bartenders will be taking any requests, as well as providing our featured drinks of the evening.

Featured Drinks: Hot Dulce de Leche, Hot Buttered Rum, Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, Coconut-Almond Cocoa, Maple Chai, White Chocolate Chai, Hot Tea Toddy, French Vanilla Eggnog, Apple Pie Nog, Apple-Pear Punch, Black Tea Punch, White Wine Wassail, Mulled Red Wine, Gingersnap Shakes, Peppermint Shakes, Sugar Plum Soda, Sherry Fruitcake Shots, Cranberry Margarita, Brandy Slushes, and Black Forest Beer.

Desserts! God...Nikia knew how to wait until the last minute when it came to preparing things. All morning, since before the sun had risen, she had been inside the Churches kitchen, cooking up a storm and a wide array of desserts, from cupcakes that looked like Snowmen, trees, Santa....and other winter related things, to cookies that were shaped like snowflakes and would melt in one's mouth, like any good sugary concoction would. There were rolled pastries, frosted with sugar, and topped with nuts, pies of all kinds, and multiple other little treats that she knew people would enjoy. Each thing she had made was then moved to the site of the Pre-Winter fest celebration, and laid out on the booth she had been appointed to. The table had a white table cloth draped over it, and was sprinkled with iridescent glitter. In the center of the Table was a cake that was decorated rather elaborately. People made out of frosting, along with all of the other little things that surrounded the cake. It was the one thing she was proud of the most this time. Once she was finished with settling the other desserts around the cake, she stepped back to eye what she had done, and smiled.

It looked perfect. She felt like there was nothing else she could do right now, so she turned and slipped off to find A certain White haired Bristol Crois member. She's return later though when the festivities started.
