It had been a long time since the Blacks as a whole family had departed from Gaia. Since the beginning the family had lived and grown here but it was time for a vacation. Sere had pulled a couple ties and secured a manor home in the Swiss Alps. Not that they were telling the family patriarch but the location belonged to an old suitor of hers and was well equipped with a security system and a few loyal guards. Rave was already grumpy about having to move from his nice house where they had everything he needed or wanted to the middle of god damn no where. The manor was divided into six wings and three floors each. Designed to look like a flower, they were joined in the centre by a hub like main hall. Sere had already divided up the living quarters. She, Rave, Luc and Meka had taken the first wing with their children and their spouses in the second. Hayden's family was with JC, Tucker, Pol, Lucy and the kids. To keep the peace, Brad's family was rooming with Ben's far enough away from Rave- Though the old man thought excitement could be had with the wolf being close enough to the devil. Canan and Tom had their allies in Maggie and Tex in the fifth wing. Flic of course insisted on rooming with her favourite. Lastly, in the biggest suite was Aram's and Aaron's famiies. Despite the teasing that they got the biggest section because Talia was Rave's favorite, it was more because of the sheer amount of people. The only one not living in the separate wings was Beth's family. Unlike Hayden, who was leaving the welfare of Gaia in the hands of the council for the week, she didn't have the same faith in the Elders. Their family was staying in a set of quarters that hung like a balcony over the main hall. The young Queen had been concerned her coming and going would disturb whoever they were rooming with despire her Grandmere's objections. Sere didn't want any of the girls to worry about cooking and cleaning for the week they'd be there so she had the staff stay on. Everything was being provided for them. Really, the week would be a much needed bit of r and r for all of them. Christmas Eve Day they would move in and stay until just after New Years. The hall was set up with stocking for all, embroidered with each name and hung over several of the fireplaces. Two huge fir trees polarized the rooms and were decorated in silver. Amongst everything, Sere sat in a wing backed chair, smiling happily. Merry Christmas.

It was important for the Blacks to continue with tradition, a tradition that meant every year they got to gether. It had started with just Rave and Sere and the kids, and Rave had liked it that way, and slowly over time people got added on. Apparently he'd spawned a family that had an addiction to reproduction. Idiots. Still, it was a long time since the whole mass of their family had been under one roof, and there were alot of them ranging from the age of 80 to just 8 weeks. And no, Rave wasn't counting Luc in his mathamatical explaination. Luc didn't deserves his grumpy thoughts. Although, he'd rather involve Luc than Tom and Ben anyday. Rave hadn't known the plans, and he was staying out of the organisation. It was the way her preferred it, He preferred not knowing because then when something went balls up he couldnt take the fall for it. And Rave had learnt from experience that something always went balls up. Still in an only Rave way he was rather happy when things did encourage drama, it gave his beautiful wife and daughters and even granddaughters something to do and hell knows when they werent happy neither was he. "Stop being a lazy good for nothing toad and give us a hand?" T called. The six of them were already at the resort. Right then Tristan and Noel and their two meddling companions were getting in the way of the decorations. Or at least that was how Rave saw it, let the people putting up the tree put up the tree in peace. But of course his blody son couldnt do that. Rave yelled as Tristan jumped on him. "And your in my seat." His son added. Rave looked for Sere, craning his gaze to glare at her. "Next year, I'm going away on my own." He told her. Tristan grinned, ruffled his dads hair and avoided a sharp set of fangs. He grabbed his sisters wrist and run off with her. "Come on, you always put the fairy on the tree-" He told her, it was something they'd done together since she was old enough to grip anything and he was old enough to put her on his shoulders. "And I havnt seen Jay around in ages-" He teased her.

Noel giggled. The two siblings reverted to children when they were together. It was one of the joys of immortality, wasn't it? She was hoisted on top of T's shoulders, putting the decorations on top. Giggling as she was set back on her feet, she leaned against him. "Lovely-- Now, when's your lot arriving?"

"Sophia has been left in charge of rounding up Hayden and Apollo, apparently Lucy's bringing the boys and bets and has washed her hands of both of them. Which can only mean Dad is going to have an amazing holiday" He grinned

She nodded, "Aram and Aaron and families are coming after they tend to the animals. The farm hands are taking care of everything for the week. My son in law is still, well, a little tender understandabley and Aiden apparently hasn't spoke since coming to the farm. Canan and Tom said they'd be here around noon." With a sigh, she added, "Beth said she'd try and make it tonight. Apparently she has paperwork."

"Apparently shes going to get herself kidnapped." Tristan told her, not commenting on the rest because it didnt seem like a thoughroughly good idea and he didnt want to make Noel sad, maybe he'd catch up to Aram later. "She can't doss out on this week- coming?" he grinned
