CHRISTMAS!
HEAR YE, HEAR YE! It's time for CHRISTMAS! Oh, all right, it's a bit early, but I DON'T CARE.
I want to take this opportunity to invite EVERYONE to Grim Cottage for our traditional Christmas OPEN HOUSE. Come by ANY TIME AT ALL -- the floo is open and the gate wards are ... well, not completely down, but I've taken all the trap charms out of the garden so nothing should grab you if you drop by without warning. From now until New Year's, we welcome EVERYONE with OPEN ARMS. The kettle is on, the butterbeer is warming, the elf is going mental in the kitchen with feasts and treats. You should see our goose -- it's so big Wort can sit atop it like a pony!
You may be recruited to help with decorating, but it'll be BRILLIANT! We can even sing CAROLS and drink RUM PUNCH -- Godric knows we still have plenty of Barbados rum! HA!
We have so many reasons to celebrate. For the first time in a very long time, PEACE ON EARTH is more than a wish. Well, except for the usual Muggle squabbles, but they don't count.
As for GOOD WILL TOWARD ALL MEN... Harry: yes, you can bring Lumpy Stumpy if you must. You can even bring along the Malfoy maggot, as long as you bring Edward and Lily as well.
