[Aurora is humming softly, weaving sprigs of evergreen together, a little bird handing her berries or plants, several squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks holding twigs or pinecones but she's honestly surrounded by all sorts of animals in her home. A giant fire is going in her fireplace, the whole room gives off a feeling of warmth.]

Al...most.... done. [She held out her hand for a pinecone, the chipmunk handing it to her.] Aaand there.

[She held up the wreath.]

It may not be a traditional Evergreen Yule Wreath, but it is rather lovely.

The dried oranges were an excellent idea. [She said as she turned to look at the giant Eurasian Eagle-owl perched on the back of her chair.] Thank you for the suggestion, Vivek.

If anyone else would like, I have plenty enough to make more wreaths, especially as the solstice is almost here! Thought they may be much more traditional than this. Or, if you would like to imbue it with your own home's warmth and protection, I can show you how to make one.

Yes, that's right. Vivek is a Eurasian Eagle-owl. Don't let his size fool you, he's a big softie. [She giggled and the owl let out a giant "WHO!" before ruffling his feathers, clearly not keen on being called that.]

Well, for this one, it was evergreen pines, pinecones, dried orange slices, common snowberries, the base is made of willow tree twigs weaved together, and a few other plants. I find willow trees are the easiest to weave together. But we can make you a much more traditional one where it's just evergreen pine sprigs all woven together.

He does look really fluffy! [She giggled at the reaction. This was all super adorable.]

Oh, I see-- I see. [She nods her head at the items that were used.] I don't mind going traditional... but trying out something new is always fun! I also really like how creative you got with it.

Oh, he's the fluffiest. I'll cuddle him in bed at night. [The owl nipped at her shoulder for revealing such a thing.]

Why thank you. It's a tradition we've done all the time back home. Although, had I known snow would be so quick to fall here, I would have gotten it sooner.

[Gasp! Aurora, how dare you reveal such an embarrassing thing~!]

It was quite sudden, wasn't it? I'm not going to complain though. It looks really beautiful after all. And reminds you that Christmas is right around the corner.

Oh, actually, this will be my first time celebrating Christmas. My aunts and I only ever celebrated the Winter Solstice.
