[It seemed only fair that since Pepper and Tony had hosted the last holiday, that someone else host this time. And since they kind of had an entire floor, the inhabitants of Floor 5 had bravely and nobly taken the task upon themselves to create a party that they could all share.

The doors are propped open to try to give them enough space for mingling, with a Christmas tree set up in Clint's living room, presents laid out beneath it. And maybe he's been a bit enthusiastic with the decorating, because it's kind of weighted down with tinsel and baubles, but it's been more than twenty years since he last had a Christmas tree and people to spend it with. Everyone else has added their own personal touches too, with a menorah in the windowsill for Ben and Billy.

The place of honour on the couch is taken by Coulson, wrapped up in blankets and Clint has helpfully hung a sprig of mistletoe over his head with string because he is thoughtful like that.

The kitchen is laid out with food; there's the traditional turkey which they'd managed to prepare (Clint is rather proud of that), and a ham. Oddly for some perhaps, there's also a large fish in the middle of the table, the carp that Clint and Natasha have spent the last week keeping in a bathtub. There are, of course, assorted cakes and pies, vegetables in bowls. There's drinks too, mulled wine and hot cider and chocolate. There's also a plate of sugar cookies labelled 'Coercion Cookies'. Not to mention the food that Ben and Billy made which he doesn't know the names of but smells amazing anyway.

It's a somewhat chaotic affair; people arriving and leaving as they please, gifts given out whenever it seems appropriate and games played whenever there's a group big enough.]



[OOC: Feel free to have people drop by whenever they like, even early if they want to help prepare or discover large fish in the bathtub.]

That was bad. And I live with Johnny Storm. King of bad fire puns.

[Ben levels Clint with a look before reaching over with a thick finger and poking him in the forehead.]

Uncle Ben, if anything. I don't got the girlish figure t'be called yer mom.

...okay. That's it.

[Ben drops his hand down to the back of Clint's shirt, gets a solid handful, and lifts. The guy likes cod jokes so much? he can sit with it.]

[Ben grumbles under his breath and starts walking back down the hall to the bathroom, holding Clint over the tub with the fish.]

[Yeah, that tore it. Ben dropped Clint right into the tub with the trout and stood back with crossed arms- though he did take the time to start recording with his journal for Natasha's benefit later.]

Cool off, polly.
