Title means Merry Christmas in Irish
the date is December 20th
It was officially Winter Break, and a few days in, Juniper was running around the house. "Caleb- NO- wash your hands!" She sighed. She couldn't have her friends seeing her little uncivilized brother who forgot to wash his hands after using the toilet. She crossed her arms as her brother scurried back to the bathroom, snickering. "WITH SOAP AND WATER!" She yelled in his direction. She adjusted her ugly christmas sweater, which had santa riding a unicorn on it. It had puff balls attached on it, which she loved. She was excited for her friends to come... and her cousin. Her mom had told her to invite Cody since he was family. She hoped he wouldn't ruin the 'fun countdown to Christmas week' she had planned.
"Honey they should be coming soon." Juniper gasped. She ran to her room and made sure it wasn't too messy. She shoved socks under her bed and threw pillows on the pile of stuffed animals and clean clothes she doesn't want to put away.. on her bed. She went back downstairs and made sure the couch was clear and that the Christmas lights were on around the fireplace. She went to the kitchen to make sure all the baking supplies were out for the Christmas cookies, and finally she waited outside in the snow, with her coat and boots on.
"Anytime now. Any time." She was excited for them to come over, like, really excited.

[font=century gothic]Cody was delighted when he got his invitation to Juniper's place for once. Maybe Juniper wasn't too big of a fan of Cody, so he suspected that there was a story behind the invitation. Perhaps asked by her mother?
He would leave Hogwarts, and arrived at Juniper's estate. He whistled in impressiveness. Such a pretty place! But he was desiring to at least have a flourish way of announcing his arrival, holding a giant stuffed Yoda, bigger than Cody was.
He would walk up to the door, white with a wreath on it, and instead of knocking, he kicked the corner. If the door was open, Cody would scream in a really high pitched tone. "HELLO JUNIPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I AM HOMEEEEEEE!"
He would deem rather proudly, waving the Yoda back and forth as he carries it inside. A young boy was watching a show in the MASSIVE living room as it seemed. (Caleb) And while Cody had a bit of an interest in talking to Juniper, the little boy was making Cody want to hang out with him a little. He was Cody's cousin after all! The twelve year old part goblin dramatically asked the boy, "So... little boy. What's your name? Mine is Cody! And I'm your cousin!"
Maybe to shock Juniper's relatives, Cody would just loudly, and boldly, announced what he thought Caleb and Cody would like to do. "Want to break into Juniper's room and mess it up even more, since she was so clean it seemed at Hogwarts."[/font]

Emily had arrived in Ireland. It had taken her a while to convince her parents to she could spend Christmas all the way in Ireland, as sure as her parents never celebrated Christmas, so we only celebrated Christmas when someone invited them, as for now. But after a bit, her parents finally confirmed that she was allowed to go, and she was thrilled to celebrate it with everyone, her very first Christmas!
Once she saw Juniper, her face lighted up, she ran towards her and gave her a big hug. "Juni Hi! Om, it feels like we haven't seen each other in ages, but it was only a few days ago haha" She said and smiled, she looked around into the house, giving her mom a greeting, and saw Cody. "Hi Cody! How have you been?" She hadn't really talked to Cody yet, but she did have his secret Santa with her. Since she never celebrated Christmas before she had no idea how it really worked, but once she saw all the packages under the Christmas tree she dropped her's there as well, with some extra presents for her friends. She felt bad for only buying one for Cody, so she bought one for every since person! Even once for Juniper's parents, she felt like they were the ones having her stay there, she should give them something as well!
She looked around but didn't notice Lin yet. "Has Lin arrived yet? I thought she'd be here since I wasn't so early, on time of course, just not early!" She said and laughed, while looking around, examining the Ireland-ish house, decorated in the Christmas vibes, she assumed.

So, how to say. Lin, Sophie and their mother have just left the airport. Still, it's more convenient than driving halfway across Britain! The twins certainly insisted on coming. Charlotte was sceptical. Leaving her two little girls with a witch family at Christmas time? Not that she didn't like witch families, but this was all new to her.
After leaving the airport, the small group searched for a taxi before heading to Juniper Kelly's house. Lin was extremely anxious to arrive. But really. Juniper was - along with Emily - her first friend at Hogwarts, and the two Ravenclaws were now her best friends. So spending Christmas with friends, especially when you have an invasive family, what could be better?
When the taxi stopped in front of the property, Lin saw a group of three people, two of them quite small. Juni, Emily and Cody. While holding back from shouting with joy, Lin thanked the driver, took Sophie by one hand and her suitcase with the other and ran into the snow.
— JUNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! How are you? And you Emily? Cody? I'm so happy to be here!
Then Lin saw a little boy near Juniper. Her little brother? Lin thought that the boy must have found the little gang very hysterical. And in fact, this is not wrong. But then, a bunch of first years - not the wisest at Hogwarts - getting together before Christmas... It's not the perfect option for a quiet Christmas.
— Hey guys! Juni, is he your brother?
Lin's mother had paid for the taxi and had reached the group. She smiled but stared at Juniper. She was trembling a little. It was cold.
— Hello Juniper. Is your mother around? I have a couple of questions for her.

Juniper jumped up and down, waiting for the headlights of a car to show that someone was coming. She plopped on the hanging bench and swung back and forth. She glanced at the window, watching her brother walk into the kitchen and walk over to the window. Juniper made a silly face at Tony and he returned one as well. She grinned and walked inside for a moment, waiting in the warm kitchen with her brother. "Tony! Caught you red-handed! Trying to steal the cookies. SO disappointed in you. Her brother shoved a cookie into Juniper's mouth and picked her up, slinging her over his shoulders. She laughed and tried to get free when she glanced out the window. "Someones here!!!" Her brother set her down as she sprang for the door. She opened it just as Cody screamed and kicked at the door, and she widened her eyes.
"Hello there, Cody. Cody, this is Tony, my older brother, and your cousin." Her brother looked at Juniper. "That's weird." She nodded. "Very. And my younger brother is watching t.v in the other room." She walked outside to wait for Lin and Emily to arrive, too.
Caleb looked up as Cody walked in. "Hey! I'm Caleb! You're Cody, right??" He sat up. "Sure!! But at home she's not very clean... well, not too messy either. Her room is... organized but also messy. At the same time." He was bad at explaining.
Juniper smiled and jumped up and down as another car came. It was Emily! "EMILYYYYYY!!!" She yelled rushing to her friend and embracing her in a bear hug. "Come on inside! My mom decorated it all for Christmas. The farm at the back of the house has Christmas lights on it too, it's so pretty! She opened the door for her friend and pointed to a pile of shoes. "You can leave your shoes here, and your coats on this rack here. The entrance hallway was a bit cramped.
House description:
Reducioso it has a big big grass area at the front. It's a big house, with white walls. The windows are surrounded by brown wood frames, as well as the big door. The door has wreaths on it, and the house has lights along the top. Snow coats the ground as well. When you enter, you'll smell pine trees with a hit of cinnamon, and you'll walk into a big hall, to the right there are couches, a carpet, fireplace, and a big tree. Juniper's brother, Caleb, will be in there, watching a Christmas movie. The living room is big, take note of that. Down the spacious hall you take a left to the big open space that contains that kitchen and large dining room.at the end of the hall there is a large room with a pool table, couches, t.v for sports, and such. there is a large set of stairs as well that leads to the rooms.
She smiled. "Lin isn't here, yet." But as she said that, she heard a car. She ran outside and saw Lin. "LINNNNN!!! I'm so happy you're here!! Come on inside!" She waved to Lin's sister. "Yup, I have two. Caleb, my younger brother, and Tony, my older brother." She smiled at Lin's mother. "She's inside, come on in." She lead everyone inside and called for her mom.
"Yes, honey?" She came into the room and smiled. "You must be Lin's mother. I'm Fanella, pleased to meet you."

[font=century gothic]Cody smiled mischeviously. "Hey Caleb!" But he had a second thought. "Actually, lets wait on destroying her room, and lets go see your mom really fast! Then we can come back here to watch our movie!"
Whether Caleb decided to go with Cody, he didn't think it mattered. Cody carried the yoda plushie. Should he find Juniper's mother, he would attempt to toss it in her direction, with a note on top of it saying that he wants a jug of applesauce without Juniper knowing. This would serve as Cody's secret santa gift to Juniper. Since Cody didn't really bring anything else with him. Well, besides something he thought would be interesting... a locksmith knife he recieved at Hogsmeade. But no intentions of murdering anyone would be present, he just wanted to keep Caleb busy asides from watching Christmas movies all the time. Maybe Caleb could learn how to throw knives... perhaps not.
"Alright Caleb, we ready to watch... what are we watching? Is this rudolph? uhh-" Cody didn't know what the movie was, as the only christmas movie he watched was when he was six. That movie was called I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.
Cody would walk over to Caleb and give him a hug. "You remind me of my twin, but so far, seemingly less destructive."[/font]

Emily was fascinated by how Juni's house looked, it was so colorful and just beautiful! She couldn't wait until she got to invite her friends for a holiday! Altho these holidays mostly happened out of vacation seasons so that would be kindish impossible. She headed over to Juni, trying to talk to her. She had no idea how to act since she had never celebrated Christmas before. 'Hey Juni, i... I have to tell you something, Uhm, how do you celebrate Christmas? If i may ask, i have... We don't celebrate Christmas at home so, uhm i don't really know how this goes. I did do some research! I dug up how the presents work, i added them under the tree, but i don't see dreidels around, you don't play with dreidels?" She asked. At her house, she has a holiday really similar to Christmas, just not the same, and there they always used to play with dreidels. She brought some in her back just to be sure if they wanted to learn.
She headed over to the fire, to warm herself a bit up. It had been very cold outside, which she personally adored. She always loved the winter seasons, the snow, playing around, throwing snowballs and just having fun with friends and family. She always felt like the winter brought people closer to each other. She turned around, greeting Lin and heading over to her to say hi as well.
"Can i go where you go?"
