In the Spirit of the Season II

Act 2

Cornelia set out about her tasks.  She searched and searched for ideas yet frustration built up!  But soon she did put together something amazing.

Things came together fast.  Cornelia went to Bridgeport and commissioned an old artist friend for some one of a kind decorations.  This was the year that the Goth family won the Holiday Spirit Home Decor Contest.  That snobby Nancy Landgraab's streak was over!

She ordered fish from Barnacle Bay and baked treats from Monte Vista.  She dusted off some old decorations from the attic to put around the house.  And searched for the perfect tree.

Gunther found himself on the roof putting up lights.  Sometimes he wondered how he ended up in these situations.

The decorations came from Bridgeport and they looked sweet!

And of course things wouldn't be complete without a snow theme!

But all the hard work was worth it!  The house came out great!  Even the Holiday Spirit Home Decor Committee thought so!  First place belonged to the Goths this year!

Before they knew it Snowflake Day was here and it was time for the big open house!  The invitations went out.  Gifts were bought and wrapped.   The food was being prepared and soon Cornelia would know if her plans were worth it.

Cornelia was worried because Gunther was mostly quiet this whole time.  And even though he did what was asked of him knew he couldn't be happy with all the chaos.  But little did she know that Gunther was working on his own plans to make a memorable Snowflake Day himself.

In the Spirit of the Season

Act 1 

It was a weekend soon after Spooky Day and the first snow of the season was falling, Gunther was spending the day in his jammies and just wanted a deep fried turkey leg.  His plans were thwarted when Cornelia blocked his path to the deep fryer.  Gunther inwardly sighed because he knew there was no turkey leg in his near future.

"Agnes and I were talking about how Snowflake Day was such big thing when we were kids." said Cornelia.

"Yeah, I suppose it was.  The house always seemed to be filled with people during the whole season." replied Gunther. As the words left his mouth he knew where this was heading and immediately regretted opening that door.

"Yes!  It was so much fun!" exclaimed Cornelia.  Gunther waited for her to continue.  After a short awkward pause, she did.

"Well, this all came up because Martha Simmert had a 12 page spread in the holiday issue of Sim Ladies Journal.  And it got me to thinking that it would be fun to bring that sort of tradition back.  I mean it won't be too much longer before Mortimer would rather spend holidays out with his friends than at home..."

Gunther sighed again.  Anytime she brought up ideas like this it was always for Mortimer's sake.  Not that he would complain but more work always fell on his shoulders.  After a bit more talking they decided that they would host an open house on Snowflake Day.  Just like the ones they used to know.

Not wanting to leave Mortimer out of things Cornelia found some old books with stories about Snowflake Days past.  Soon things would kick into high gear and there would be little sleep until Spring!

Random Non-Sims Musings Black Friday Edition

I really don't get the whole Black Friday Must Shop attitude.  It's just much nicer to stay home and buy online or hit up stores when it's not so crowded.  Or just not buy anyone any gifts.  But maybe that's just me.

Christmas will be over soon.
