One particularly chilly morning, they appeared in every house in the Kingdom: singing stockings, one for every resident. Most people found them hanging from the mantle, while those who had salted their homes found them pinned to the front door instead. Left alone, the stockings sang merry little carols, cute ditties, and tender lullabies, except one yellow and orange one pinned to a certain high elven estate, which rattled off obscure trivia all day.
When a resident approached the stockings, they curled up and down again and started singing
“We bring you an invitation
Falalalala lalalala
To the merriest occasion
Falalalala lalalala
So put your wishes in your stocking
Falalalala lalalala
All the reindeer will be rocking
Falalalala lalalala!!”
When asked for explanation, the stockings said that everyone who wanted to do so may make a list of three wishes: one for themselves, one for a loved one, and one for a stranger. Then put this list in your own stocking. They made no promises that any of these wishes would be fulfilled, but who knows? Then they started singing again.
((OOC
Send your character's wish list to Cat no later than Wednesday December 11th. Doing this is NOT a prerequisite for attending the Mithras party, so don't worry if your character doesn't want to do this or you don't get to it.
The stockings will all disappear again come Mithras, so no you don't get a permanent one in your home.
