I realized that it was 1ish shortly after getting to my floor. I also realized I forgot to eat dinner. I felt like if ate in front of those street performers.... You know what I mean. So I went into the kitchen. Finding it stocked with tons of leftovers from their Christmas feast. I figured, what the hell it's Christmas I'm gonna have a one man feast.

I took ham, mashed potatoes, a container of gravy, green bean casserole, bread, a bottle of champaign, a tub of ice cream, the rest of a half eaten apple pie, and a tray full of cookies. I've got a mini fridge and microwave in my room, so I don't have to nuc anything here.

I return to my room, and begin to set up for my one man feast. Putting out a place setting for me, and warming up all the food. To put the finishing touch, I climbed up on a step ladder and lit the first candle I encountered. My room has a ledge that I have lined with candles. I bent reality just enough so I could blow on the flame and it would ignite all the other candles lining my bedroom.

I changed out of my chilled outdoor clothes. No sooner did I sit down, there was a tap at my door. I had a pretty good idea about who was knocking... But I answered anyways.
