Good morning! This is Kitty with your Monday news on this Christmas-Eve-slash-third-day-of-Hanukkah morning. The short of it is, nothing blew up, though there are some tiny elves around but they seem helpful?

No classes this week, but in the dorms, Nina made breakfast while dealing with bitey fruitcakes, which had Sabine trying to help after Nina trapped one with her foot, and Tisarwat just hoped they didn't expect kissing. No... No, wanting to be eaten is actually kind of worse. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

In town, Beau was fending off fruitcakes while researching Christmas at the gym, and Rosa was at the trooper station where they were arresting fruitcakes. Welcome back, Rosa! Seivarden was warning fruitcake away at the Perk, where she and Duke talked about Christmas and pesky laws, and Seivarden texted with Amaya before going to welcome her back at the forge, where Amaya was mostly worried about the Crumbler. And finally, Magnus brought Octavia a tree so she could properly celebrate Candlenights.

I don't know what that is, but since that's my last note, that's a good way to end on happy holidays! See you next week.
