Making Christmas

[gobetween]

Today was supposed to be a pretty good day. While "any excuse for a party" was the lifesblood of a Fraggle, Gobo usually preferred leaving the decorating to someone else. But today was different. One, it'd be with one of his closest (non-Fraggle) friends and two, it would involve learning about a new holiday. So, it wasn't long after receiving the note that he popped out of the Fraggle Hole in Scrooge's backyard, heading up to the mansion doors.

He laughed, not unkindly, and nodded.

"Yeah, getting Boober out might be a struggle, but it'd be worth it."

“I’m sure we can find something about Christmas that he’d like.”

[gobetween]

"Well, he seems to like gift-giving. And you mentioned there's all kinds of special holiday food, right? He'd like that too!"

He paused, drumming his fingers on his snout in thought for a moment, then snickered. "Provided he follows a recipe for it. Boober's food when he goes 'off the book' isn't usually the best."

“Well, there are plenty of Christmas recipes out there. I’m sure we can find a few for him.”

Pulling over one of the boxes, he retrieved some ornaments and handed one to Gobo. “Here...find a good place to hang this.”

"I'm sure we can!" He took the ornament, curiously looking it over for a moment and then walking over to the tree. Let's find a good spot... "He'd really appreciate that, too. He hasn't said it, but I know he's been curious about the kinds of food Silly Creatures eat."

“You should bring him over sometime! If there’s anyone who can show him about our food, it’d be me.”

[gobetween]

"Sure! He'd really love that." Taking another ornament, he put it in place on the tree. "Especially coming from a friend. That'll definitely put him at ease." A pause, and a brief snort. "As much 'at ease' as Boober would get anyway."

He snickered a bit, hanging a few other ornaments. "Well, as long as we can get him to relax even a little bit, that'll have to be good enough."
