Christmas at Hogwarts

I always enjoyed all the Christmas shenanigans that take place at Hogwarts (and frankly all across the board), so I'm hoping to bring some back—with a few additions.

— Mistletoe & Mistlefoe: Two separate plants are popping up around Hogwarts castle. One will force you to kiss someone to escape, while the other will overwhelm you with sudden rage and the only way to escape is to throw the first punch (or slap, or kick, or whatever).

— Christmas prank presents. Wrapped boxes start popping up all over campus. After two or three students find a sickle and another finds an entire bag of chocolate frogs, other students start looking for them. Unfortunately, the moment the trust sets in is the moment the pranks begin. Open boxes at your own risk.

— Fake presents. Someone (presumably Peeves) sends out holiday cards/small gifts to people from random senders. Maybe your crush thinks you sent them a present. Maybe your worst enemy or ex-best friend wonders why you sent one to them. It's up to you.

— Magical Snowball War of 1889. Sentient snowmen are popping up all over the grounds and engaging in snowball warfare with students and professors alike. Build a fort, underground tunnels, or just try to out-run them to get to Herbology class on time.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. ADD YOUR OWN.

Oh, my freaking gosh. I am in love with the snowball idea. Like, true, honest to goodness love. I would want to live that. Please, can that be a thing? I need it to be a thing. Students using it as an excuse to throw snowballs at each other. Students banning together and creating a retaliation. How many ways can you shield yourself from the sentient snowmen everywhere? Do they get inside?

For Gryffindors, Aideen had a tree brought to the common room on Dec 1 and had a house tree decorating party that evening.
