so pile your boots up in the corner -- hang your jacket from the door

Who: anyone invited to house seven's thanksgivingstravaganza -- as well as anyone walking by who might be curious about all the brouhaha.
What: giving thanks!
When: forward dated to november 24th due to predicted holiday hiatuses!
Where: house seven!
Summary: friends, food, fondness. family. festivities.
Rating: g for goin' up.

House Seven was decked out in soft oranges and browns. Gentle reds and yellows. The table was shoved up against a wall and dish upon dish of delicious Thanksgiving dinner-bits adorned it. Plates to one side, a pile of cutlery. Feel free to line up and pile your arms high with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, carrots and green beans, cranberry sauce, sinful gravy. Stuffing. Steamed broccoli. The amount of food would almost be laughable had the guest list not been so long. Chatter abounded.

It was, by all accounts, a fairly casual gathering. No ceremony (Buffy, by this point, was all ceremony'd out after some fiercely dedicated meal-prepping) to stand on and no customs to keep. Just food and friendship. The only thing customary about Buffy Summers would be her delighted, enchanted grin throughout the evening. Very little pleased her more than a social event that was going well.

Mix! Mingle! Make merry!

(ooc; threadjack into oblivion and don't forget to add your character to the entry tags! have fun! note that this is forward-dated. i'll be tagging around myself later this evening. )

Especially on Thanksgiving. Especially now after everything that's happened since Halloween. Helios is thankful for everything, for Ginia forgiving him when she had no reason to and that him and Giles were still friends.

"You know. It's times like these that this place isn't so bad." He'll lean up against the wall beside the table as he regards the hustle and bustle of the party around them.

"Amazing how people can jump back from things, especially the things that we go through everyday here. I suppose saying that I'm thankful for knowing such good, strong, understand friends is a bit cliche isn't it? Ah, well, it is but-but I figure it's best to say it." You never know when you might leave after all. He shrugs since it's already out. He really is thankful for that though, among other things.
