"Delivery for Myfanwy Thomas, " Alex's voice replied.
Myfanwy opened the door to Gestalt standing in the corridor wearing Santa hats.
Alex was holding a cup of cocoa. Eliza was holding a paper bag of sweets.

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la"
Myfanwy stared at them.
"What is all this?"
"I thought since you didn't want to come to the party - " Eliza started.
"I'd bring the party to you," Teddy finished.
"Is that ok?" Robert asked.
Myfanwy fought tears.
"Thankyou."
