Christmas Dinner

What luck that one of the scheduled days for posting would coincide with Christmas day itself? Though worthy of being the grand finale to this collection, here's an illustration that I couldn't not post today.

It's time for the Christmas dinner and there's quite a gathering this year. Friends in Droey's circle, both old and new are here having a lovely time.

Tenvad and Paddy aren't eating, since some Technobians can't eat food, yet are sat a a corner of the table to soak in the good company and chat together. It's a wonder that Chrissie Mason is attending as a guest rather than a host! Nevertheless she is welcome and delighted to bring a plus one, she's recently started seeing someone who calls himself Gabriel Snow. He's new to the area, although there's something awfully familiar about him, but no one can work out what.

The biggest surprise this Christmas is that Gary and Lexi are not focused on arguing with each other!  There have been a couple of noticeable blips however, they're most likely just being merry for show- only to follow it up with a riot when they get back to their flat! Everyone else has already pulled their Christmas crackers and Lottie is holding the last one as she reaches across the table to pull her's with Evangeline. Evangeline may have had a little too much to drink though as for a laugh she tries to pull the cracker with her trunk!

John has been trying to charm Ida with his humour, and so to his aid come the Christmas cracker jokes that everyone has gotten over. John reads the jokes as he observes how much he can make Ida laugh. Ida laughs to be polite but has to admit that John has successfully made her laugh with the jokes on a few occasions, maybe it's just the way he reads them? Mac and Quaid weren't expecting to be invited, but Droey decided to invite them over! They remember having taught Droey and John so enjoyed catching up with Mac's former drama students. No doubt Mac and Quaid will be up and dancing later!

Lastly there's Anne Natalie and Droey. Of course Anne Natalie was going to attend her best friend's Christmas dinner. She's even dressed up in a few design for the occasion, sporting a green dress with a yellow jacket sporting her trademark start emblem. Anne tried Droey's Christmas themed hat on and it happened to suit her very well, Droey even whistled- with the use of a Christmas cracker prize! Anne placed Droey's hat back on his head as he handed over the whistle to let Anne have a closer look.

How are you spending Christmas this year? Be it with family or friends, I bid you a merry Christmas, don't forget we've got one more Christmas inspired post to go so be sure to come back in a few days!
