I'm not great with holiday requests but maybe decorating the big house or somethin with holiday stuff like garland? And like blasting all Christmas music (with only 1 Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas because even 1 is pushing it a bit)

For the first installement of the month! Hope you enjoy!

Chiron had given you the special task to decorate the Big House for the upcoming month. He wanted it to look festive, but not religion specific, given that there were a lot of demigods with a lot of different backgrounds. So, when he gave you the task, you decided to ask around and assemble a team.

"Go get your boyfriend, good luck." You wished him and Will quickly thanked you as he ran off.

"No," Nico shook his head as he quickly walked away and left you and Will behind. Will shot you an apologetic look.

"This is just not Nico's month," Will explained, "But you should ask him if you want to know more, it's not my place to disclose this information."

"I might, but thanks anyways. You think Austin and Kayla will be up for it?" You asked Will and he thought for a second.

"I mean, they are on an infirmary shift right now anyways, so they just might if it's not too busy." Will shrugged, "But with the holiday campers slowly coming in I am not sure. Anyways," Will looked at where Nico had run off to.

Your venture to obtain some poor souls to help you decorate continued and as you looked around you you spotted your next victims. Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Percy and Piper were talking together. You grinned as you made your way to your friends.

"One condition," Leo said quickly as he held up a finger, "I get to do the electronics." you squinted your eyes and nodded slowly. With 6 people, decorating should be over in a breeze right?

"Hello my dear friends," you greeted them and Annabeth looked at you in suspicion.

"What do you need?" She asked and you fake pouted.

"Can't I just wish to spend some time with my dear friends?" You grinned and Annabeth cracked a smile as she shook her head. "Okay, you got me," you held your hands up in surrender, "I need some people to help me decorate the Big House, could you help?" You asked and as everyone exchanged looks they reluctantly seemed to agree.

That's what you thought at least, two hours ago. You should've known better than to put on a random Christmas playlist - or to allow Leo to do the lights. Besides the fact that both your throat and ears were hurting from people singing holiday songs, your arms were growing tired from holding up the lightstrings the way Leo wanted.

"We need either an additional electric cord, or to change the lights again." Leo murmured as apparently the lightstring once again did not reach the socket in the wall. You sighed as you lightly put the lights on the ladder and started climbing down, wanting to let your arms and body rest. Suddenly you felt the ladder lose its balance and you braced yourself for a harsh fall, only to be caught in a rush of wind instead, hovering inches from the ground. Jason quickly helped you up from your position as he steadied, holding onto your arms.

"Sorry, I tripped over the lightstrings," Percy sheepishly walked up to you, "You alright?" he asked and you nodded as you swayed a little on your feet.

"Quick reflexes, Grace. Thanks." you smiled at him and Jason nodded with a smile of his own.

"It was bound to go wrong one way or the other." He noted as he slowly let go of your arms.

"Just some shock," you answered as you looked around. Piper and Annabeth had done with garlands with the help of mostly Jason, as Percy had seemed to do everything yet nothing. He had been mostly busy attacking everyone's ears with holiday songs. You surely hoped that he was the reason that your head started throbbing about ten minutes into decorating, and not something else.

"How about we take a break now?" Piper suggested breaking the weird silence that was going on, "It's about lunchtime anyways." sounds of agreements rose up from your group and you honestly just wanted to lay down for a bit. You still had a whole month to get everything in order anyways, and it started to look decorative already- your thoughts were rudely interrupted with a sneeze.

"Bless you." Annabeth remarked and you thanked her as you sniffled your nose, hoping that you wouldn't get sick now.
