Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
Had it really come to this? Passing Charles Macmillan back and forth like an upright booby prize?

❄ Character Christmas Gifts
#17
Angelica:
Her favorite gift is a ruby and amethyst pendant and matching circlet she received in her 7th year from her then-fiance as engagement/Christmas gifts. Even with him dead good riddance, she's kept them buried in her things.

Felix Prewett is getting an extravagant, fussy quill she knows will make him roll his eyes. He's also getting a quill and notebook he can actually use.

Her sister Daria is getting her engagement circlet so she can have it for her Coming Out Ball.

Her fellow professors are getting booze. Lots, and lots of booze.

Anne:
Anne's favorite gift isn't really a gift. In hindsight, her favorite Christmas gift was the last Christmas she had with both her parents at home and happy. Physical gifts, Anne is happy at the remembrance of any book.

Emilia Moony - Anne's painted a very inaccurate star chart with constellations Mons Mensa, Ursa Major, and Monoceros and planets Mercury, Uranus, and Mars so it spells "Mum" twice.

Christopher Moony - Oh, this is difficult for Anne! She may end up giving him a photo of her and Ned from Dueling Club. That's as kind as she can be.

Bronwyn Moony - Auntie Winnie is getting a drawing of her cat, Binx.

Eavan Miller - Cousin Eva gets a drawing of her Thunderbird, Astra.

Elias Grimstone - he gets a drawing of several brooms waving at him, animated by a professor she begged for help

Edison Moony - Not sure if she was able to make it happen, but Anne hopes her work for Elias Grimstone and her not-so-subtle requests to family gave her the galleons she needed to buy Ned a better broom.


Hermia:
Her favorite Christmas gift was her horse she named Epona. She received her the year before Hogwarts and she is still Hermia's favorite part of coming home.

Billie Farrow - Hermia would gift her favorite (sorry, not sorry) First Year with a small charmed Snitch
that has "Billie" engraved on it.

To the rest of her Quidditch team, Hermia is gifting them the LATEST Grimstone brooms for the coming year.

Octavius d'Orsay - Hermia gifts him a French book on the philosophy of curse morality.

Sebastian:
Quidditch World Cup tickets were the best thing ever. Too bad it went the way it did.

Calla Potts - a painting of a Bouncing Bulb, hoping she thinks it funny
Ruby Urquart - A Ruby red tarot deck that he hopes she likes
Balthazar Urquart - A book, in German, of Wizards of Distinction

Titania:
Her favorite gift wasn't a true gift - it was her father joining her to officially register as an animagus.
For her nieces and nephews - books! They are nearing Hogwarts, after all
For her brother - a family portrait of his children
For Murdock Greyback - a book on Scottish aurors of distinction

Cad - His father is getting nice firewhiskey (He probably asked an uncle for advice on this)
Ambrosia Selwyn- a book on notable female animagus and a peacock book mark
Hortense Selwyn - something probably excessive for her age, like a fan and muff set, to highlight the fact that he didn't get @'Liliana selwyn' anything
Heph - probably a book or something


Madeleine - Cane Backus is getting a set of books on magical animals
Tiger is getting a Christmas thank you for his help with the unicorn, in the form of baked goods!

Ginevra - The Prewett boys, as well as the Galivans, and other Quidditch fun people are all receiving a 'hamper' of festive booze and treats.
UC PB society parents are getting something suitable and friendly, as well as an invite to the hunt.

Emma -made her parents @'rosie Binns' and sibling scarves and hats. Zach and Jules, probably also got hats. They are made with whatever wool she could get her hands on - they are not aesthetic.

Murdock - Siblings and most of the department heads got a very nice reserve of firewhiskey
@'Titania Alloway' is getting an excessive floral arrangement, a silver broach of a bear, and an apology that a very bad flu is preventing the Greybacks from inviting her for Christmas.

Benevolence - Melody Crouch is being sent a Christmas floral arrangement including a magical patridge in a small table top sized pear tree, (the patridge turns back into a nice floral vase after Christmas dinner)
Roman Crouch is getting a greeting card, thanking him for his help this year in her allotment project and a small Christmas festive boutonniere.

Lucretia - Is sending gifts to every upperclass PB she has met! Her in laws will get suitably thoughtful gifts, the girls will get fans, or small beaded purses - tasteful and expensive. It doesn't reflect how much she likes them

Meserimus- Clue Leverett and Idunn Fraser got a first edition of the final book published by Meserimus and Giorgio over the summer. As well as a book on the careers of exceptional potioneers (Meserimus is included) with a notation that they both might strive to make the next edition.
Other Hogwarts professors and staff got wine or firewhiskey as their preference dictates.

Yuri - Will make something in Art class for Xavier Mondragon and Billie Farrow will probably get a card and maybe some sweets that are actually from the Hogwarts dinner table.

Nel - The girls are all getting whatever they asked 'Santa' for - YES even though they are still past the age of believing they all still have to write a letter and a Christmas list and that's what they get!

Samuel - @'Hope Crawford' is getting a special piece of jewelry - maybe....he hopes.

Bragi - Nothing very exciting or special happening here... Bragi doesn't have any friends close enough to change gifts with. XD

Ama - Ama sends each of her married children an African-inspired centerpiece, each unique to the individual. Her unmarried daughters each get a brooch made in Ghana; Bellona Zabini's has an emerald, and @'Camilla Zabini''s a sapphire.

Arven - If there is any gift-giving among the Fisks at Hanukkah, he gives out fascinating little souveniers and rare trinkets from his travels abroad. Dove (AKA Robin Ashdown) gets a sterling silver Persian necklace; plus a rose delivered to her by Virgil the ferret.

Clue gives Narcissus Laurent an intricate charcoal drawing of their favourite spot by the Black Lake. And a kiss. :3

Djura gives his children various expensive presents, strictly unrelated to the wizarding world.

Dunstan gives his sisters books that suit their interests (e.g. books on art, music, healing). Father gets a handsome new set of quills. @'Acacia Ruskin' Chrysanta Ruskin Orinda Ruskin Martin Ruskin

Eloquence - A series of detective novels and a magnifying glass for Nelson Higgs. Dresses and trinkets for the Gillyweeds (her closest friend group).

Shrike - Various inappropriate, rugged little gifts for the Umbernauld clan, e.g. daggers, furs, alcoholic concoctions. Someone probably gets a stag head~
