―――― What was Christmas, or any holiday season, without a big, decorated tree? The observatory was undoubtedly a little crowded, and with the heat of many bodies, and hot chocolate, there was something inviting about the cool, winter air, and the faint crunch of snow beneath one's feet. In the middle of the Ascendant's camp, lit up by a string of lights, a large tree sat sturdily with several boxes of ornaments, tinsel, and other deorations around it. However, there was also a small table with a box of solid multi-colored ornaments, paint, puffy stickers, pens, and other art supplies. Clearly marked was a small sign: DO-IT-YOURSELF ORNAMENTS! Decorate one for the Tree, to take home, or both! Make something unique to remember this holiday season, and happy holidays! In addition to all the decorations and the sign, another small radio sat, providing nice background music to those, including some NPC Ascendants members already present, that dared the winter chill.
