what a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away ☆

[ Scattered about the main rooms and hallways, lining one in particular, are thick red candles. Where they came from is a mystery, because anyone keeping watch would only have seen them appear right out of thin air. They burn brightly, sprigs of holly fastened to their bases, and weave a trail to the main ballroom. Anyone curious enough to follow (or those who paid attention to the invitations sent out days before) will find that the ballroom seems to have grown larger for the ball, and is now completely decorated for the holiday season. A very large tree sits in the back, lit with strings of traditional white lights and frosted, royal blue ornaments. At the very top sits a shimmering star.

Cushioned sofas line one side of the tree, the side closest to the wall (and mysteriously appearing fireplace). On the other side of the room are a few large, round tables decorated with poinsettias and candles, and close by an even larger table hosts all the food. Glass dishes are filled with food of all kinds; traditional Christmas foods of various worlds, including popular dishes and treats. They range from meats, side dishes, birds and puddings, to gingerbread houses (and gingerbread people), to pies, cakes, cookies, fudge, bowls of candy canes, sugarplums, roasted nuts and popcorns. Drinks are at the end of the table; eggnog, cider, hot cocoa and sparkling champagne.

Finally, one thing seems to have survived from last year -- the dance floor itself looks cool and inviting, feather-light snow falling from the ceiling. It lines the chandelier in frost, but disappears before it ever reaches the ground. ]

[[ooc: IC the ball is happening from late-afternoon Christmas Eve to the early morning hours. Happy holidays, everyone. ♥]]
