In a rented school-gym-like building - basketball hoops and all - many round tables are set out, covered in simple white tablecloths. A couple of long tables are set up, end-by-end, on the side of the room, upon which are set many foods and decorations. Set up in a row, there are specifically: Pears and pear-cupcakes. Dove-shaped cookies, decorated, and facing either direction. Roast chicken. Toy bird-whistles... more of a different kind of treat. Pineapple rings, apple rings, onion rings, chocolate-pretzel rings, and butter-roll rings. Roast goose.And a punch bowl with floating swan decorations, which are kept upright by little chambers which hold various berries, helping to flavor the punch. Other foods include the classics, such as mashed potatoes, rolls, gravy, and stuffing. However, they aren't exactly the main attraction to that table. The decorations, and the settings for the tables... aren't quite ready yet. *working on pinning up ribbon along the walls* Hurry! People could start coming at any minute! *dashing around the tables, placing paper plates* I'm trying!

*walks in cheerfully, bearing Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Wintereenmas cookies* Merry Christma-- ohwait are you guys not ready yet? Need some help? *sets cookies down on the tables*
((Also totally misread "floating swan decorations" as "frightening swan decorations." I don't even know. XD))

Help me with the cups and silverware! *only has a few things left to do with the ribbon* Do either of you know the right way to arrange the silverware?

Ooooh! I do! *feels knowledgeable* =D Fork and napkin on the left, spoon on the outside right, knife on the inside right. At least I think so... spoon and knife might be flipped.
*starts placing out the cups*
((I'm at my neighbor's house, so I'll be really sporadic about posting, sorry guys))

Pretty much, but one more thing: The knife blade faces the plate. *looks back at the ribbon* I think the cup also goes 'above' the spoon and knife? *still running in circles around the tables, strategically* Almost done!

*helps place the cups* This is going to be a lot of fun. =D *finishes with the ribbon* Just wait until other people get here! Then we can really get started! *starts on the napkins* .oO (Better put away this broken coat rack and replace it with a good one.) *picks up the pole and heads for the storage closet*

We really don't need it; there's a perfectly good coat rack in the storage closet. *almost finished with the napkins* .oO (Probably should set out some extra...)

It's a Festivus pole! For Festivus! Haven't you ever heard of it? I guess it's just more obscure because it's not as heavily commercialized as Christmas... *grumbles under her breath*

If I brought Wintereenmas cookies, I'm sure we can have a Festivus pole. *has never before heard of Festivus but it has Festive in the name so CLEARLY it's awesome*
*goes around with the forks and other silverware*

*comes back from poofing* You brought this?

It's a Festivus pole! For Festivus! Haven't you ever heard of it? I guess it's just more obscure because it's not as heavily commercialized as Christmas... *grumbles under her breath* *tilts head, staring blankly* So it's like a Maypole? We don't really have room for a Maypole. We've got a bunch of stuff already. If I brought Wintereenmas cookies, I'm sure we can have a Festivus pole. *has never before heard of Festivus but it has Festive in the name so CLEARLY it's awesome* *goes around with the forks and other silverware* *sheepishly* You really didn't have to! I didn't prepare for a potluck... *starting to put up the centerpieces; one poinsettia per table*

But I wanted to! No harm in extra food, any leftovers can be snacks for later. ^_^
