"I think they sound absolutely delightful," she said. "All the bright lights and bright colors and as you said, the scent of pine redolent in the air, just as the kitchen smells of sugar and cinnamon and baking things and mulling wine..." She stepped closer, to wrap her own arms around him, tipping her face up to his. "I was thinking of getting one for the mansion, along with plenty of decorations--" Which she'd already bought, yes, you were welcome Summer's bottom line. "--and spending an evening decorating it. Though I suppose if such a thing holds no interest for you, I can find another time and simply set it up on a room you're in less often or the like."

Especially after an afternoon of skating perhaps not that she was expecting that yet, followed by dinner and an attempt at keeping Liliana from stealing all of the dough before he could bake cookies for them to enjoy while they decorated...

Didn't it sound like a lovely way to spend an evening together?
