*everyone has gathered, Anne made a big meal for everyone with a braided breath with preserves in the middle for dessert. Now she gathers everyone around in the livingroom* I'm so glad everyone could be here, we are all connected and all here for eachother. All of us have those that can't be with us anymore, those that have gone on. Tonight is to remember them.
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 10:27:40 PM)
*there are candles set out on the table, enough for each of them and more. She takes one, picking it up and smiles at Aden* Can you get me one of our long matches for the stoves, Aden? Light it and bring it here carefully.
Mark OMalley (Jan 1, 2011 10:28:00 PM)
*he smiled a little as he regarded anne and scratchy, aden running to get the match for anne and bringing it back*
Scratchy McPhearson (Jan 1, 2011 10:30:21 PM)
*Stays quiet, doing whatever Anne says*
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 10:38:05 PM)
*she smiles at Aden and kisses him on the forehead and lights the first candle* This is for us to remember. No matter what happens, we must keep the light burning. On this longest night of the year, we keep the light, we keep the hope burning for them and all of those that we have yet to meet. I lost my family. *she names them off one by one and a memory of them, 15 names* They wait for me in Valhalla. I fight until I see them again, in the hopes that I will. In the meantime, though, I live. We all do. *she lights another candle, letting some wax drip onto the windowsill and sets the second candle there, looking to Mark for him to go next.
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 10:38:07 PM)

Mark OMalley (Jan 1, 2011 10:40:54 PM)
*mark holds his light, letting it burn in the silence for a moment, watching the flames dance up infront of his face* the flame dances and burns, like our souls, giving warmth to our hearts, the light gaia gave to us as a people. aden's mother passed on in the umbra but her will and hope and light burns in aden, his fire is bright and the generations continue under the world gaia gave us. *putthing his candle next to annes*
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 10:44:53 PM)
*Anne drips wax on the sill to hold it, looking to Scratchy and tilting her head, offering him a turn*
Scratchy McPhearson (Jan 1, 2011 10:48:53 PM)
Um.... *Looks a little awkward as he takes it* Well... ta all o' our family that goes before us... *Names off a few family members including a brother or two* An.. ta those we couldn' protect *Names off some kin like Gretchen, etc* An' those who fell in battle at our side... *Names off a few like Lars*
Scratchy McPhearson (Jan 1, 2011 10:50:54 PM)
May they remember us as we remember them and reach back ta lend us aid in our times o' need in our fight to save Mother Gaia.
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 10:51:43 PM)
*she repeats dripping wax on the sill to hold his candle, giving him a big hug and a kiss and murmuring in his ear and then turns to Aden, seeing if he would like a turn as well*
Mark OMalley (Jan 1, 2011 10:56:26 PM)
*aden would take a candle, standing on a stool.* i never knew my mommy but she looked like a happy good person and I wish I had. *he said quietly as he placed the candle on the window, provking a small reaction from mark.*
Scratchy McPhearson (Jan 1, 2011 10:57:53 PM)
*Rubs a hand up and down Anne's back as he watches*
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 11:01:14 PM)
*she drips wax for him and holds the boy up so he can set it there, kissing his temple* I love you, baby. *she gives everyone a turn, letting them light their candles and say what they would like, leaning against Scratchy in the meantime as her eyes get shiny and she starts to cry silently despite the smile on her face. When everyone is done, she brings out wassail and eggnog, Mark probably has liquer to add to the nog if anyone wants it and she makes sure everyone has a glass and then raises hers* To remembering the past, living in the present and hoping for the future.
Mark OMalley (Jan 1, 2011 11:03:31 PM)
*he would raise his glass* remember the past, live the present, plan for the future. *adens would have a smlall small drop of liquer very small.*
Scratchy McPhearson (Jan 1, 2011 11:05:34 PM)
*Raises his glass and then tinks it against Annes*
Scratchy McPhearson (Jan 1, 2011 11:05:50 PM)
((Small for a Fiana... so half the glass right?))
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 11:07:08 PM)
*if anyone else wants to give a toast, there's time, then more drinking, talking. Bad Company may show and give tales of the Fenrir. Mark has tales of the Fianna, lots of hugs, talking and laughing before Aden is put to bed and then even more before the adults call it a night. Mark knows a little of what is to come*

*Anne quietly slips out of bed, going to the closet and taking out a small bundle and then walking quietely out of the room, careful not to wake Scratchy. She goes to the pantry across from his room and changes into a white slip and then over that a long cream empire waisted nightgown edged in lace at the top and drapes deep red velvet material and ties it over one shoulder, then brushes her hair. She pulls out a green wreath she'd made and attached candles to. She lights the candles and sets the wreath on her head and picks up the bags that she has ready. She quietly sings in German as she walks up both sets of stairs and into Aden's room to sit next to him, letting her singing wake him up*
Skye OOC (Jan 1, 2011 11:41:17 PM)
(Kitten, FYI, you're not here for this part... you can come late in the morning, early afternoon... I'll let you know when to join in. Anyone care if she watches?)
Kitten (Jan 1, 2011 11:41:29 PM)

(is she singing loud enough for others to hear?)
Anneliese Adler (Jan 1, 2011 11:58:00 PM)
*Aden curls into her and wakes up slowly at her very quiet singing, too low for others to hear through closed doors. She holds him close and rocks him a little, smiling as she finishes the song and shows him the treats in his bag. The boy is practically bouncing at the excitement of it as she reveals where she has hidden all the treats she's been making. She urges him into pj pants* We'll go wake up Daddy and Mommy Kim.
