Good Tidings We Bring

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

"You know, that's never been made precisely clear to me, though there are certainly some notable similarities between Santa and the Ghost of Christmas Present in most depictions. Might be worth studying."

"Oof, okay. Is there, like... a schedule for when they arrive? Or is it a surprise inspection?"

"Some people go to farms where they grow trees for just this purpose. Others go into the woods and cut one down themselves. It depends on how busy and/or outdoorsy you are, I suppose."

Will gestured up at the arched ceilings. "That can be tricky when you're filling an interior space this big. It's really an artform."

"You want it to have enough branches that it looks full, and provides plenty of room to hang ornaments and decorations, but not SO full that it hides everything. You want it to be pleasantly proportioned, tapering off to a point almost, but not quite, reaching the ceiling."

"Like I said, some people buy them from people who farm them specifically for those attributes. That's usually the easiest way; they usually take over a vacant lot or a parking area about this time of year and sell them."

"I...have a plan or two. Don't worry about it; you've got to figure out what to do for presents for people you like," Will said, obviously avoiding the subject.
